Born and raised in south Florida, Nate Dee Delinois has numerous influences including his Haitian background and the use of color in a lot of Haitian art, as well as much of the graffiti of artists like DAIM, Tat's Cru and The Inkheads. The design quality of African art and the drama of Greek art from the Hellenistic period can also been seen in his work. Additionally, he takes some influences from Art Nouveau and the new pop surrealists also known as lowbrow artists.
