Sylvestre Telfort is an award-winning, internationally recognized fine artist and portraitist with a unique style and eye for the natural and abstract. An artist formed in the context and culture of the Polo Mitan Art School in Haiti, Sylvestre studied with Wilfrid Austin Casimir and his own brother, Rousseau Telfort.
Influenced by the work of Da Vinci, Van Gogh and Frank Louissaint, Telfort gets his inspiration from eroticism, spirituality, dance, music, and scenes from Haiti’s rural life. His paintings range from realism, to surrealism, to cubism and he is known for his portraiture. He is an accomplished creative with decades of experience as a painter, teacher, dancer, drummer, calligrapher, serigrapher and Haitian cultural advocate.
Sylvestre is a member of the facilities management team at Melrose-Wakefield Healthcare.
New England Art Reach offers a service to hospitals to have rotating art work from New England artists on display. This wonderful opportunity supports local artists and adds beauty for all to experience while walking along the hallways and public areas.
Typical rotations are every three to six months. All art work is for sale and Art Reach handles all transactions between buyers and the artists. 20% of all sales go back to the hospital. Fees for these services are contingent upon the size of the venue and the number of rotations.
