Art has finally joined the outdoor living space. Fine art prints join outdoor rugs and furniture to add a touch of luxury and style to outdoor living spaces such as porch and patios. The outdoors require bolder colors as the art print that would overwhelm a living room looks magnificent outside among all of nature's competition.
Today, patios and decks are essential extensions of our favorite rooms and increasingly adorned with personalized furnishings that need minimal care. Outdoor art prints on canvas didn't exist a few years ago. Now chosen art prints can sit out in the rain along side outdoor rugs and lamps. Outdoor art prints have come a long way, with brilliant colors that won't fade in the sun or mildew in damp conditions.
About the Artist:
Daniel Gabriel Angelo Jean-Baptiste was born on the Caribbean Island of Saint Lucia, in 1963, to parents of Dutch Jewish and African Carib descent.
Jean-Baptiste grew in the tiny one street fishing Village of Choiseul, under the shadow of the towering Gros Piton. Spare time was spent fishing off the village's long wooden jetty, which gave Jean-Baptiste his first glimpses of colorful creatures that inhabited the Caribbean Sea. The plants and fish that intrigued the young boy would later dominate his art. Childhood days were sweet, sweet as the perfumed breezes of Saint Lucia.
Jean-Baptiste began to paint at a young age. Soon visitors to the island began to notice the little boy who had the gift of capturing the cobalt blue sea with his watercolors. It was through these early youthful escapes that the artist Jean-Baptiste began to evolve.
Jean-Baptiste's work reflects the beauty of the island's fish and flowers. Jean-Baptiste focuses in on his subject, magnifying its beauty and vibrant color. The translucency of the work allows light to further enhance the silk's natural luster.
He moved to Canada in October 2004 to explore new opportunities for his children and for his art, and is currently based in the beautiful city of Markham, Ontario. Although temporarily removed from the tropical landscape, Jean-Baptiste continues to be inspired by the beauty of his island home.
