The Philosopher’s Stone
by Asser Saint Val
Born in Haiti, artist Asser Saint-Val has lived in Miami most of his life. He earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in painting and graphic design from the New World School of the Arts and the University of Florida. As he matured in the local art scene, Saint-Val traveled to the Caribbean to explore his roots. He lives and creates in Miami’s Allapattah District.
The sensorial and spiritual come together in his art. Saint-Val’s performance installation The Philosopher’s Stone brings to life his surreal paintings. In this work, performing bodies, sound, taste, and smell invite us to contemplate universal truths about our inner selves.
