Franketienne is known first and foremost as writer. It is his paintings, however, that this article examines, for they are the most relevant to understanding the poetics of what Franketienne calls the «spirale», and also to explaining how these works - produced in the wake of his literary experiences linked partly to the French «nouveau roman» - enrich and transform his writing with L'oiseau schizophone (1993) and more radically with H'Eros-Chimeres (2002). Indeed, the latest book more than other francophone works, pushed to its furthest limit the integration of image and text into the great whole. Of course, no one has a complete knowledge of Franketienne's visual production since 1973. Therefore, this first incursion into this universe is mainly focused on some paintings and key moments of this huge artistic work to show its governing principles, which are quite different from those of well-known Haitian artists such as Duffaut, Telemaque, or Basquiat
