Artist- Winzor Gouin
One of a Kind
Winzor Gouin has achieved acclaim and great success with his chosen profession as an artist. Born in 1970 in the Port-au-Prince suburb of Petion-Ville, he began his training with the encouragement of his mother, who introduced him to Hubert Bernard. Bernard took him on as an apprentice. It was an eye-opening experience for the teenager. Winzor remembers, “In the beginning, it was not easy because you hammer in using a chisel in your hand and you are between the anvil and the hammer. It is very dangerous work, but the main thing is to learn it. I knew it was necessary because I saw in advance that I could earn my life through it. I spent a great number of time learning in Hubert Bernard’s shop.”
