#36 – How Can Art Transcend Time, Memory, and Tradition? | Lewinale Havette
Artist Lewinale Havette returns for a conversation on art, spirit, and shedding constraints. Recorded at Palo Gallery during NYC Art Week, Lewinale reflects on her evolution since 2022—from early paintings shaped by language and migration to her latest abstract works rooted in instinct, spirituality, and ancestral memory. We discuss authenticity, pushing limits, and why she’s letting go of surface-level meaning in favor of deeper emotional truth. Why she’s moved from narrative-driven art to intuitive abstractionUsing linen, ink, and ancestral symbols to honor West African water deitiesHer take on the performative nature of art cultureThe emotional reactions her work sparks—from awe to fearWhat it means to create art for everyone, including herself🎧 Be sure to listen to Lewinale’s first episode from 2022 to hear the full arc of her artistic growth.
