Elan Vital - United States

Art Brokerage: Abstract Expressionist. Elan Vital American Artist: As the son of a prominent lithographer and growing up in New York City, élan was exposed to art and color at a very early age. His discovery of Leonardo DaVinci's renaissance diversity theory first touched him when he was only seven; DaVinci became an influential force in élan's life, and still is to this day. élan attended a high school for gifted students and graduated with honors, attaining an equivalency of an Associate Degree in Engineering at age seventeen. élan's personal artistic revolution began after leaving the corporate world and joining a commune of artists in the East Village, Manhattan. It was there, while designing psychedelic lighting equipment, élan met Andy Warhol. Andy committed the monetary resources for élan to design the first psychedelic discotechque, located on Saint Marks Place in New York City. This became the springboard for many artistic endeavors for élan - combining invention with art. élan moved to Hawaii in 1988. His first major work in Maui was a 49-foot, 10-ton, life-size, humpback whale - the largest sculpture of its kind in Hawaii. élan donated the whale to establish Maui's Ecology Park, where it is now on permanent display.
