Willis

With Woman's Dream , Willis explores a dreamlike imaginary world where the female figure seems suspended between reality and inner projection. The face, framed in close-up, is partially concealed behind large glasses with yellow-orange lenses, veritable emotional filters through which the world appears transformed. The gaze, invisible but omnipresent, invites the viewer to wonder: is she dreaming, observing, escaping? The slightly raised posture of the face suggests an aspiration, a drive towards elsewhere, reinforcing the idea of ​​a waking dream or an inner quest. The palette, dominated by intense blues, contrasts with deep blacks and bursts of orange, while splashes of white and colored paint disrupt the surface, like fragments of thoughts, memories, or emotions. This vibrant, almost chaotic material gives the work a raw energy, typical of Willis's urban language. Woman's Dream is a powerful and introspective work that evokes the freedom of the female imagination, the ability to protect oneself from reality while reinterpreting it. Between strength and vulnerability, dream and resistance, Willis offers an emblematic portrait, straddling the line between pop art and contemporary street art.

With Liberta , Willis delivers a powerful and direct portrait, where the face becomes manifest. The female figure, painted in close-up, is vertically traversed by the colors blue, white, and red, an immediate reference to the French flag. This chromatic marking, almost brutal, transforms the face into a symbolic territory: that of identity, belonging, and freedom. The closed eyes suggest a calm, almost meditative introspection, while the bright orange lips—a strong visual signature—create an expressive tension, poised between sensuality and assertiveness. The contrast between the softness of the features and the vibrancy of the colors creates a subtle balance between emotion and assertiveness. The vibrant yellow background, saturated with projections, signs, and graffiti, firmly situates the work within an urban language. The inscriptions, traces, and drips evoke the tumult of the contemporary world, against which the figure seems to resist through silence and dignity. Liberta is a politically engaged work, both pop and political, in which Willis questions the notion of individual freedom in a society marked by symbols, borders, and collective injunctions. An iconic, vibrant portrait that captures the eye as much as it invites reflection.

The artwork Trinity presents a stylized frontal portrait, rendered in black, white, and gray, against a dark background splashed with white projections reminiscent of a starry sky or cosmic matter. The face, closed off and determined, is partially masked by a kind of visor or futuristic glasses, reinforcing an impression of hybridity between human and cybernetic figure. Around the figure, vibrant fuchsia pink triangles radiate like bursts of light or fragments of a signal. Each is covered with graphic signs resembling abstract calligraphy or cryptic symbols, evoking language, codes, and the sacred. This geometry contrasts sharply with the deep black background and structures the composition like a contemporary icon. The contrast between the almost mechanical rigidity of the face, the chromatic violence of the pink and the controlled chaos of the splashes creates a strong tension between order and disorder, flesh and technology, identity and depersonalization. With Trinity , Willis seems to question the multiplicity of modern being – between body, machine and information – and to propose a figure that is at once protective, cold and transcendent, like an urban divinity born from street art.

In this brilliant work, Willis revisits the ancient myth of Cupid , the god of love, by propelling it into a resolutely contemporary aesthetic. The winged child, bow drawn, prepares to shoot an arrow of love—a universal symbol of desire, passion, and human vulnerability. Against a vibrant yellow background , splashed with dynamic white projections, Cupid's silhouette stands out powerfully. The detailed and organic green wings contrast with the graphic black and white treatment of the body, offering a play of textures and materials. The suspended, almost choreographic posture freezes the movement in mid-flight, reinforcing the dramatic intensity of the gesture. The combined use of stencils , acrylic paint and spray paint reflects the artist's signature style: a confident urban style, a cross between classical and street art. The black "W" in the lower right corner affirms the work's identity. With The Flight of Love , Willis offers a bold reinterpretation of the mythological figure, mixing love, tension and urban energy in a picture that is as pop as it is poetic.

In this powerful work, Willis , Street Artist, explores the theme of the duality of being through a face split into two contrasting halves. On one side, the character sports a disturbing clownish grin, referring to a chaotic and theatrical figure; on the other, a darker, more realistic face, expressing inner tension. This fusion clearly evokes the Joker from the Batman universe, and more specifically the intense and tormented interpretation by Joaquin Phoenix in the film Joker (2019), where the character oscillates between social marginalization, psychological suffering and an explosion of violence. The textured background in shades of gray and black, treated with a marbled effect, accentuates the latent violence of the composition and highlights the striking contrast of the central portrait. The artist skillfully plays with chiaroscuro , using the stencil as a tool of visual and symbolic impact. At the bottom right, the stenciled "W" print confirms the artist's identity while recalling the urban universe of his creations. With Duality , Willis questions the limits between character and person , between appearance and truth, in a society where masks are omnipresent.
