Born to Dutch Jewish and African, Kalinago Carib descent, Daniel Jean-Baptiste is a Caribbean
artist living in the paradise of St. Lucia where sunny skies and abundant water
life provide constant inspiration. His artwork depict underwater scenes, game fish
and their prey, tropical botanical themes and exotic animals.
Daniel’s childhood was spent fishing off the wooden jetty in the tiny
fishing village of Choiseul. The sea became his second home and
he spent hours under the blistering sun gazing at the vibrant colours
of tiny wrasse attacking his bait. To Daniel, fishing was much more than catching
fish; he found the whole experience exhilarating and painting
became a way of capturing a tiny part of this bliss.
Daniel is constantly inspired by his island home, but laments that most people become so
accustomed to their surroundings that they overlook the exquisite beauty around them. Through
his artwork he hopes to reignite an awakening to this free gift, and urges us to take a
moment to notice the colours and dancing light next time we go fishing. This
is the lighting effect he strives to capture in his art.
