Yvens Alex Saintil (b. 1985) is a Haitian-born multidisciplinary artist whose work explores themes of identity, race, power, systemic injustice, and their intricate interconnections. Residing in Denver, Colorado, Saintil draws on his experiences as a Black man, an immigrant, and a U.S. Army veteran to create art that intertwines deeply personal narratives with broader social critiques. As a Purple Heart recipient and combat veteran, he has transitioned into the arts with a robust commitment to activism.

His work has been prominently showcased in exhibitions such as "Through Their Lens” at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center (2020), “Yvens Alex Saintil” at East Window (2022), and the Youth Art Exhibitions at RedLine Contemporary Art Center (2022–2024). Notably, his series “Unrest in Denver” captures the profound intensity and impact of the 2020 protests, employing candid and spontaneous compositions to fully immerse viewers in the atmosphere of collective action and solidarity.

Beyond his artistic practice, Saintil is a dedicated mentor and advocate. He has worked extensively with the Youth Art Mentoring program at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, empowering students to tackle complex social justice issues through creative expression. His community involvement also includes contributions to Denver Voice, a vital publication that supports individuals facing housing instability.
