Historically, the presence of religion in art is one that is very common and well documented. Like all art, the images and various projects produced, they all are up to the viewers interpretation, with underlining messages throughout. Religion being such a major influence in many different cultures, it isn’t surprising that there is such a connection to art and religion. This is true when looking at the art produced in the Caribbean or about the Caribbean, and also by the art produced by Caribbean artists. This research seeks to demon- strate some of the various Caribbean visual arts that have been produced and the portrayal or influence of religion presented, ranging from pre-colonization to post-colonization visual art projects. In turn, this will present the influence that religion has had in the Caribbean and how this has affected Caribbean communities, whilst also highlighting the lack of representation of some common religions that are present in the Caribbean today.
