Willy Perez
STATEMENT
One of the themes which Willy Perez has explored with singular assurance is the universe of water. He has deciphered the enigma of the sea, enclosing in his works the treasures of its flora and fauna, its silent beings, its vessels run aground or sailing aloft in the wind, as well as longings for high-tide… All the poetic geometry of the Dominican landscape appears in his paintings, with special emphasis on the diversity of color to the Antilles, whose details suggest an instinct for ecological preservation without in that sense limiting themselves to local color
CURRICULUM VITAE
Born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic and son of renowned artist Guillo Perez. Willy studied art at Universidad Autonoma of Santo Domingo, Candido Bido Art Center and The Art Student League in New York. He works as a Clinic Psychologist and is the Director of the Art School Guillo Perez.
