Born in Guadeloupe to a sibling group of eight, Eddo is a singular Creole painter, as much for his art as for his commitment.
.
A free spirit, painter, watercolourist and illustrator, he currently lives and works in Aurillac, France, with his muse Béatrice, whom he met when he was a lodge keeper in the remote heights of Reunion Island. Other oceans, other volcanoes.
.
Eddo doesn't paint ‘about’ the history of the Creoles and the Maroons, he literally embodies the spirit of running away and the instinct for freedom.
.
He has no bank account, no telephone, and has even lived without a fixed address at times, driven by inspiration and spontaneity.
.
For Eddo, ‘Running away is not enough’, you need a project, to free yourself from the chains, to live truly and fully, in harmony but also ready to defend yourself against the ‘chestnut hunters’, against the militias that chain dissidents and poets.

Cimarron isn't just yesterday, it's here and now, tomorrow and always. The only home is together, against everything that shackles us.
