BIOGRAPHY:
Daniel Louis was born on October 20, 1955, in Port-au-Prince. His father made metal frames and his mother was a dressmaker. He had little education and he joined the navy where he remained for three years. Louis began to paint at 25, with no formal training other than some advice from his brother and a friend. He learned mostly from visiting galleries and museums.Daniel Louis is primarily a jungle painter, his paintings always abundant with lush vegetation, vibrantly colored animals and a misty atmosphere in the far perspective. Louis took part in collective exhibits in France, California and Miami, while large canvases of his work adorned the walls of a hospital in Jamaica.He currently lives in an apartment in Port-au-Prince with his five children and his aging parents.
