The island of Haiti was under French colonization during early 1800s. This is the time when the art form flourish within the island and hence you can see that a major part of Haitian art form has been largely influenced by French and Voodoo culture. During the era of French Colonization, a slave named Luc from Leogane was known because of his unmatched talent and creativity in making Haitian paintings. In 1840, Emperor Soulouque founded the Imperial Academy of Arts.

Although Haitian painting existed even during French colonization, it was only after the country gained independence that the art form started gaining popularity. The major milestone in raising the popularity of Haitian was achieved in 1943 by the efforts of American schoolteacher DeWitt Peters. He was largely impressed by the art, culture, and traditions he saw in Haiti and put in lot of efforts to improve the conditions of the Haitian artists locally as well as to promote the art on commercial level. He was the man behind Centred'Art in Port-au-Princethat played a significant role in promoting Haitian art form to the entire world.
