As Duval-Carrié explained his artistic motivations for a Miami art gallery:
I have tried to analyze the historical context of the genesis of that partial island nation [Haiti], looked at the strife and suffering that brought the then society of slaves and slave masters to the point of ebullition. I look closely at the savagery on both parts of the struggle, understanding and giving my total sympathy to the downtrodden, not realizing that patterns are easily learned and extremely resilient to alteration... I have scrutinized the successive generations of pathetic leaders and their sordid entourages... But that is politics and an artist should be well cautioned to keep at bay that kind of poetry, which should be resumed as that of futility. So a step further or a level deeper was reached when the fabulous world of spirits, old and new, true and false, real and imagined, made themselves felt at different planes of consciousness. They come under many names, all quite entrancing. “Loas”, “Espirits”, or “Mysteres” all conveying a sense of foreboding inspiring the nebulousness from whence they come.[5]
Duval-Carrié's work was exhibited at the "Ouidah '92" festival, which celebrated Vodun art from Benin and the African Diaspora in Ouidah, Benin in February 1993.[6] Duval-Carrié received a South Florida Cultural Consortium Visual Art Fellowship in 1995 and a Southern Arts Federation Visual Art Fellowship in 1996.[7]
His work has been shown in solo exhibitions in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, France, Mexico, and in several states of the United States.[7] Two of the artist's works are displayed as public commissions in Miami: a 1996 piece for the Jefferson Reaves Rehabilitative and Health Center and The Lady of Miami at One Miami Riverwalk.[7]
In 2014, the Pérez Art Museum Miami presented Imagined Landscapes, a career survey of Duval-Carrié's work featuring After Heade–Moonlit Landscape, the first work the artist produced in the Imagined Landscapes series, which depicts a human figure in the center of the canvas surrounded by natural landscapes. The piece draws from the 19th century painting View from Fern-Tree Walk, authored by American painter Martin Johnson Heade. Heade traveled around the Caribbean, Central America, and South America, visiting Nicaragua, Brazil, Panama, Colombia, and Jamaica. His production was inspired by the traveling journals and drawings made by Alexander von Humboldt and Frederick Catherwood.[8][9]
