King Graph: The Image of a Young Haitian Passionate About Graphic Design

King Graph, Prévil Jean IVens by his real name, is a talented young GRAPHIC DESIGNER and COMMUNITY MANAGER from Haiti. He was born in Delmas, a suburb of Port-au-Prince, on January 20, 1999. He is the youngest of seven children.

A Passionate Soul

Since a young age, he has always been passionate about everything related to art, an inheritance he received by observing one of his older brothers, Sendley PREVIL, who is a painter, in the practice of painting, screen printing, and other graphic works.

This led him to start painting at the age of 12. As he grew older, his appreciation for art intensified and developed. This is how he deepened his knowledge more and more in the field. "When I was in 10th grade, I wanted to innovate, and that’s when I started creating flyers with apps on my Android phone. Every day, I watched YouTube tutorials to learn how to create better designs on my phone. After my studies, I decided to become a professional in this field because I often got contracts, but an Android was no longer enough to fulfill them. I then decided to go to school to learn how to create graphic designs on a computer. It was there that I discovered software like Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, After Effects, to name just a few," the interested party himself shared with us.

Additionally, he told us that since then, he considers himself fully integrated into the global graphic design community. "Thanks to graphic design, I’ve accomplished many things in my life. For me, GRAPHIC DESIGN is a blank world that was given to me so I could draw in it according to my desires. Graphic design is about transforming all ideas into images," the young Haitian talent declared.

A Dynamic Youth for a Country More Adapted to the Realities of the World

The young graphic designer’s works are mostly visible in his projects for the organizing team of the Port-au-Prince Book Fair, where he is the official graphic designer. His mark remains a brand that leaves an impression because of its originality. King Graph is one of those young people who occupy and concern themselves with their reasonable flame, the dark soul of the country, through the transcendent effectiveness of their talent. He is one of those young people capable of inspiring, through their honorable practice, any living being on our planet.

Graphic Design, A Job Like Any Other

In an increasingly digital world, the profession of graphic design is becoming more and more necessary. With the arrival and rise of artificial intelligence, the world has become a place that increasingly demands mastery of tech-related professions. It is a world that needs more and more good images for oneself and for businesses. Haïti must catch up in this regard because we are no longer in the time when professions like law and medicine were the most valued in the world.

In 2024, young Haitians must realize that there are many more opportunities than just traditional professions ahead of them, and that fields like graphic design are disciplines in which they can build successful careers. This is exactly why King Graph remains an excellent example. He is a young person who thrives in his work and is not worried about his professional future.

The Republic of the Stateless?

Haïti is making headlines all over the world. And it’s not good news. The exploits of Haitians rarely generate so much interest, but we always tend to point out the excesses, spill ink to stir up thorns in the side, broadcast on loop to relay the chaos that is raging. There is hardly any media to make amends for the resilience of this cornered people. No one to highlight the fierce resistance that serves as fuel for this people hanging in the gorges of death. And what if it was to a certain extent the only way to talk about this country to finally attract attention? It is July 26, 2024. The Olympic Games have just started in France. The 33rd Olympiad of modern times. Without realizing it, according to Forbes Magazine, Haïti ranks among the ten nations with the best costume, proudly pointing to third place. At the same time, miles away from France, on “The Island of Skillfully Orchestrated Chaos,” Haitians do not even realize how much this recognition borders on irony. A paradox whose unpopular evocation is likely to greatly displease. An aerial image shows the city of Paris in all its splendor, illuminated like the gates of paradise, reflecting all the grandeur of France, all the magnificence it has acquired over the centuries, without forgetting the contribution of the blood shed by the horrible machine of colonization. I close my eyes, I go back in time, I see again this boy left to his own devices, lost without even knowing it, doomed to failure without even understanding it. And then there are the others. Boys in the same situation, or worse. Banished from society, they do not know what life has in store for them. They form the elegant class of the marginalized, in their quality of scoundrels, good-for-nothings, and thugs who spoil the splendor of society. This contrast challenges me, and I wonder for a moment if those who live the chaos from the outside grasp the stakes and the reality of the situation. Moreover, it seems to me that even the majority of Haitians living in the territory have no notion of the fundamental and essential aspects of the situation.

Beven brings Haïti among the elite of world slam

This Thursday, November 14, 2024, the young slam artist Youven Beaubrun, Beven by his stage name, qualified Haiti, for the very first time in its history, for the final of the Slam World Cup. This competition, which brings together the best slam artists on the planet, took place on African soil, more precisely in Togo. In a country held by the throat, a country that is dying from start to finish, under the dangerous feat of a certain armed part of its youth, Beven’s extraordinary performance in this competition resonates with the echo of a whole piece of the country, in the thirst for beauty. Beven is the symbol of a youth that refuses to give in to the chaos that surrounds the face of its motherland. Art, slam being his field of specialization, is used in the best possible way to make hope resonate. And to continue to believe that a country that made 1804 cannot afford the luxury of sinking so hard in the face of human history. "It is with pride that I advanced in this competition. Especially with the crisis that is going through the country at the moment. My qualification for the final is an eternal sign of hope, which confirms the fact that not everything in this country will end in death," the young slammer told us before going to compete in the final. The final took place on Saturday, November 16, 2024, where Beven had his chance to represent his wounded land well on the doorstep of a world victory, a victory that if it had taken place, would have been initialed in the name of an entire people, in the absolute race against a great chaos that dreams only of suffocating it. Although he failed to win this cup (finishing in sixth place overall), the Haitian slam champion had time to inspire an entire country during his great journey in this competition. This is only a postponement, next time victory will be achieved for sure.
