I Created This Painting After Seeing The St. Lucia Amazon Parrot In The Wild. I Tried To Capture A Little Of That Beautiful Moment.

It all started in 2014 when I I had been hiking in the St. Lucia rainforest when suddenly I heard this familiar parrot cry followed by a pair of parrots flying towards a mango tree filled with ripe fruit. This image has been tattooed in my mind and now in a silk batik.

Daniel Jean-Baptiste is a Caribbean artist of Dutch Jewish, African Kalinago Carib descent who resides in St. Lucia and Canada. His art focuses on underwater scenes, game fish and their prey, tropical botanical themes, and exotic animals. He was inspired by his childhood spent fishing in Choiseul and hopes to bring attention to the beauty of his island home through his artwork. He uses 10mm Habotai silk as his canvas and is the originator of the shimmering light water technique, which involves painting with liquid paints on wet silk using Sumi bamboo brushes. The finished product is water-resistant and vibrant due to the translucency and natural luster of the silk.
