Jason deCaires Taylor – Underwater Sculpture Museum

Born in 1974 to an English father and Guyanese mother, Taylor grew up in Europe and Asia.

He spent much of his early childhood exploring the coral reefs of Malaysia

Educated in the South East of England, Taylor graduated from the London Institute of Arts in 1998 with a BA Honours in Sculpture.

He went on to become a fully qualified diving instructor and underwater naturalist.

With over 17 years diving experience under his belt, Taylor is also an award winning underwater photographer.

Famous for his dramatic images, which capture the metamorphosing effects of the ocean on his evolving sculptures.

In 2006, Taylor founded and created the world’s first underwater sculpture park.

Situated off the coast of Grenada in the West Indies it is now listed as one of the Top 25 Wonders of the World by National Geographic.

Taylor’s art is like no other, a paradox of creation, constructed to be assimilated by the ocean. Transformed from inert objects into living breathing coral reefs.

Portraying human intervention as both positive and life-encouraging.

Taylor is currently based in Cancun, Mexico, where he is the founder and Artistic Director of the Museo Subaquatico de Arte (MUSA).

Travel, imagine and feel his creations…
