Makeda’s pieces vibrate with incredible energy and emotions, featuring nature close-ups in their most glorious state.

A self-taught artist, Makeda has been painting for the past 15 years, with her first professional exhibition 10 years ago. After the earthquake in January 2010, she used her art as a means of healing, creating a portfolio of artworks that were widely recognized for their dazzling beauty and deep spiritual meaning. Since her art was first showcased, it has made a major impact on the world art scene, and her work has since then been featured in some of the most prestigious galleries in the world, including exhibitions at the Louvre in France, international art exhibitions in New York and Miami, Contemporary art exhibitions in UK, India, Thailand, China, Italy, the United Arab Emirates and Switzerland.

Ama Makeda and her family reside in Port-au-Prince, Haiti where she also finds the inspiration for most of the art she creates. As well as a painter, she is a professional dancer, a yogini and a business woman. To underline this, she owns a fitness line, MAFLOW, that features Makeda’s pieces.
Over the years, the name Ama Makeda has become a world-acclaimed ambassador for Haïtian and contemporary art. Yoga and meditation inspires her further in the creation of her art. Makeda’s artistic expression and ingenuity have propelled her into the heights of the international art scene. With such inspiration, she will be creating much more, so keep an eye out for this International Growing Artist!
