Louis Hansel is a Light-Expressionist who paints on a black canvas using light.
‍
Born in Brazil, Mr. Hansel grew up dealing with the darkness of prejudice and racism. People around used to tell him that "black doesn't go well with white." He lost count of the nights he went to bed asking for a light at the end of the tunnel.
‍
After years of having twilight as a threat, he seeks to reveal harmonious relationships in the world by merging with the darkness of the night to create works of art.

He currently lives in The Netherlands.
