Nasson, who died on December 17 in Port au Prince, was one of the great Haitian sculptors. He worked with sculpture from the age of eight when a Catholic Priest showed him how to make religious figurines. He became friends with the contemporary Haitian artist Mario Benjamin, who showed him art books and gave him encouragement. Nasson started by creating figures carved out of wood, adding nails, metals and other found materials.

He made devils and Virgin Marys with antennas. I asked him why he attached antennas to his sculptures and he answered, 'So that they can send and receive messages'. His work can now be found in several museums including the Casas de Americas in Havana, Cuba, the Waterloo Museum and the Davenport Museum, both in the USA and at the Vatican Collection in Rome. He has been highly influential in the work of the new stars of Haitian art from the Grand Rue, artists such as Guyodo, Celeur and Eugene.
