In the eye of the storm, civilization breathes its last. There stands Willem de Wijs, a beacon of artistic enlightenment. Unhindered by the pace of our times, he opens a romantic window onto the forces of nature. Skies rarely empty. Seas more gray than blue. And light that sparkles, often through absence. His works symbolize an endless universe to disappear into again and again.
Willem de Wijs (born 1975) works with a seemingly endless patience. What others take half an hour to create, he dedicates six months to. Layer by layer, he paints a deep and intense universe where the elements reign. Where neither time nor space seem to exist. You keep looking at his work, because amidst the raging clouds and foaming waves, there's always a glimmer of hope.
