Joseph Wilfrid Daleus : Haitina artist Born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti, on November 20, 1949, he started painting at the age of ten. A self-taught artist, Daleus, as everyone calls him, has no formal training in art. Often you will hear him say how God blessed him. Indeed, even in the most difficult moments of his life this feeling transpires and his paintings always unveil certain optimism. He can never predict what his next painting will be.
