Dubreus Lherisson was born in 1971 near the second largest city in Haiti, Cap Haitien. When he was young, his mother relocated to Port au Prince and seSled in the Bel Air area near the house and temple of Tibout, a Vodou priest and flag maker. At the age of 14, Lherisson joined his mother in Bel Air and entered the “Lakou” circles – sacred places of worship and voodoo practice. He would spend a lot of his time at the temple of Tibout, and it was there he began to participate in the workshop as a flag maker. In 1994 Tibout died and Lherisson along with fellow Haitian artist David Boyer took over the workshop and continued to make flags. Later on, Lherisson began to act as an agent for some of the sculptors who worked in the Iron Market. After his meeting with the famous artist Pierrot Barrat, Lherisson entered a multidimensional world, and transitioned from artisanal production to artistic creation. In 2010, Lherisson became involved in “Recuperation Art”. Along with David Boyer, they founded the “Kongo Lawouze” workshop, in Bel Air. Lherrisson has participated in over a dozen of expositions in Haiti, Dominican Republic, and Miami.
