Louis was born in Italy, married Belgian artist Lucette in Brussels where they settled while looking for something quite different, "somewhere untouched," Louis reflects. Leaving the densely populated cities of Western Europe they traveled to the Pacific island of New Caledonia where they spent a few years painting the island tropical landscape. The traveling spirit still had a grasp on them and it was not until they discovered the "Great southern land" that they both found exactly what they were looking for. Louis was so taken by the sheer expanse of the deserts, canyons, gorges and rainforests he was in awe, that he made a life changing decision to focus on his childhood passion.
Louis has been painting professionally for over 30 years holding exhibitions throughout Australia in Belgium, Los Angeles and New Caledonia. Works hang in Brisbane's Tattersall Club, The Design Centre in LA; in offices of corporate giants including American Express, MLC Insurance, Mercedes Benz and by the royal family of Abu Dhabi. He is renowned for his unique self-taught style, which accurately conveys the mood and feel of the rugged outback.
