Erwin Dazelle initially honed his skills as a glass artist, inheriting a family tradition begun by his grandfather in the south of France during the 1930s. Subsequently translating these techniques to the canvas, Dazelle has developed a style that is at once bold and naive, and is as sharp as it is colorful. Fusing iconic French imagery and traditional Basque themes with this graphic style has made Dazelle's works accessible and intriguing to all who view them.

Dazelle's paintings have been hailed as "lively and pure", and Erwin himself has been labeled "an artist who's got character" by Le Magazine des Arts.

Erwin Dazelle was recently commissioned by Daytona International Speedway to design the 2010 Rolex 24 At Daytona poster and program cover and was also named 'Artist of the Year 2010" by the Paso Robles Wine Country Alliance.
