Hi, my name is Daniel from the tiny Caribbean island of St. Lucia. I am a self-taught artist, never had a single class.

I want to create totally new art in a style that has never existed before, and this has been possible working in the batik silk medium. In this post, my work depicts koi fish and lotus flowers, I find the vibrant silk paints create an exciting finish.

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.
