Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, in 1960, MEJIA moved to France in 1985. A graduate of the Santo Domingo School of Fine Arts, he attended various studios at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris, in particular that of Abraham Haddad (engraving). He lives and works near Paris.

​

His pictorial work, both figurative and symbolic, using mixed media and applied to canvas, mounted on paper, body paint, or even sculpted or engraved, draws its inspiration from his Afro-Caribbean origins, enriched by his particular interest in primitive and aboriginal arts, as well as in founding myths.

 

​He has participated in numerous group exhibitions as well as art fairs and held many solo exhibitions worldwide. Notably, his work was represented in the major exhibition Paris Noir held at Centre Pompidou from March to June 2025. Several awards attest to the maturity, quality, and originality of his work.

​

In 2025, during the Latin American and Caribbean Weeks held under the auspices of the French Ministry of Europe and Foreign Affairs, he received the French Senate Medal in recognition of his contribution to artistic relations between the Dominican Republic and France for 40 years.
