Oolite Arts, founded 36 years ago, helps Miami-based artists by providing them with free studio space, exhibition opportunities and financial assistance. In his work, he explores his personal history within his background and familial experiences. 'No two designs of Barozzi Veigas are alike, said Dennis Scholl, president and chief executive of Oolite Arts. They are always responsive to the areas where they are located. It is important for Fleuridor to understand his family by dissecting his own memories and family narratives through the labor of his art process. Physically and digitally working with materials that reference Fleuridor's family helps him understand their past in Haiti and present lives within the Haitian community in Miami where he grew up. These topics are explored through mediums such as painting, performance, quilting and collage. Fleuridor has completed artist residencies such as Vermont Studio Center (VT) and the Oxbow Artist Residency (MI) and is currently attending Oolite Artist Residency in Miami, FL. He has exhibited his works in various exhibitions including Idiom and Taxonomies at Oolite Arts in Miami Fl, In the Hallway in Alternate Roots, We Are One at Creative Alliance in Baltimore, MD and B_19 (Best of Baltimore 2019) at Baltimore City Hall. Oolite Restaurant & Bar is a restaurant located in Miami Beach. Fleuridor received the Redbull Artist Grant Miami (2020) and is a recipient of the Oolite Arts Ellies Awards 2020 for his project Being Held, a project to create a public mural in Miami that counters uncertain times by focusing on people, families and their love for each other.
