MARK
DELMONT
Mark Delmont is a multidisciplinary artist from Carol City, Miami. Of Jamaican and Haitian descent, his work explores the stories of those often unseen, the people and places that define the pulse and resilience of “the city.” Raised in a blue collar family of builders, farmers, root doctors, and cooks, Delmont learned to value the labor and craft that shape culture.
Guided by his father, a contractor and fabricator, he developed a fascination with mechanics and structure that now informs his art. His use of materials like wood, metal, denim, and leather bridges construction and creativity, blending grit with grace.
A self-taught artist, Delmont’s practice reflects his respect for life and labor. He is a 2025 South Florida Cultural Consortium Grantee, a 2025 Miami Independent Artist Grantee, and a 2024 MASS MoCA Resident Artist. His work continues to honor legacy, community, and the beauty of everyday endurance.
