Daren Chambers was born in the Bronx, New York of mixed African American and Puerto Rican descent. Unfortunately, at birth he was born with a birth defect. He is legally blind in his left eye, but that doesn’t stop him from his artistic ability. He is a 3rd generation artist. His grandfather also studied art at the Arts Students League and exhibited at the Studio Museum in Harlem. A self-taught artist, he has been painting since the age of six and soon became convinced that painting was his destiny. To pursue his passion, he began formal art training at the High School of Art and Design for two years and finished his last two years at Mount St. Michael Academy. He was the first to design the basketball team logo for the Mountaineers at Mount St. Michael Academy. He also brought his art to the masses through art designs on clothing. He has created body of work in which he uses an unusual mix media and techniques to create two and three-dimensional pieces. The theme is jazz music. He calls his series of paintings, Jazz Formula. He discovered a formula within himself. It is seeing jazz with exploding striking colors, texture that represents rhythm, movement and energy- laden hues to create his own style.
