WILLY

Willy is a visual artist who has decided to step back from the limelight of his former life to concentrate on his passion for art.

Having spent many years having a glamorous career, living the dream in London, LA and New York. Willy decided to spend the next chapter of his life creating art. His style is raw and some may say childish, which he makes no excuses for.

Willy loves colour, playfulness and fun and wants these elements to shine out through his work. He believes that we are all born with a fantastic artistic imagination, but this is diluted by our upbringing, life experiences and our careers. Willy wants to make a point of exploring the childlike aspect within his unconscious mind. Media that he likes to work with is digital photographic combined with Lenticular special motion effects. Willy is the partner of Arulla, you see a lot of cross inspiration between their artistic styles, in fact his first colour motion artwork was of the iconic Kate Moss photograph that she owns, not for sale but seen below.

Some of the 20th century artists that Willy is influenced by include Bridget Riley, Patrick Heron, Gerhard Richter, Peter Blake, Andy Warhol, Banksy and Terry Frost.
