About this project
Significance
-
Apples, glistening and ever-present, representing the sins and moral challenges that populate our lives. These apples are not merely passive objects—they are invitations, beckoning us to reach out and grasp them, to make choices that define our journey.
-
The bodies in my art bear wounds—visible scars of the struggles we endure. These injuries are not just marks of suffering but emblems of resilience. They speak to the universal truth that life often tests us, pushing us to our limits. Yet, the message is clear: no matter how battered or broken we feel, we must press on. Movement is life, and those who persevere, who rise despite the pain, are the ones who shape their destiny.
-
The snake weaves through my work as a powerful symbol of temptation, an ancient reminder of the inner battles we all face. It embodies the alluring pull of sin, whispering to us that the choice to yield or resist lies entirely in our hands.
-
Arms symbolize self-determination, the bridge between thought and action. They represent our ability to choose, reminding us that reaching for sin is a deliberate act. As tools of choice, they embody our autonomy and accountability in life's moral decisions.
A little story
When I was a kid, my mom had a strict rule—no one in the house was allowed to sleep past 8 AM. If she caught you still in bed, you were in trouble. She used to say, “A man in bed after 8 AM gets nothing but bad breath.”
BIO
Williams is a Dominican-born artist living between Toronto and Madrid, bringing a global perspective to his work.
His art transforms personal experiences into collaborative moments, inviting viewers to bring their own emotions and interpretations to each piece. For Williams, art is a dialogue—a shared experience that bridges his story with the lives of others.
Inspired by the highs and lows of life—moments of joy, sorrow, resilience, and growth—Williams’s work celebrates the beauty found in both struggle and transformation. Each painting reflects the universal journey of embracing life’s challenges and finding strength in perseverance. Through his art, he seeks to inspire reflection, connection, and a deeper appreciation of humanity’s shared experiences.
Williams’s upcoming collection, “For Those Who Keep Moving Forward” continues to explore these themes, creating opportunities for profound engagement between artist and audience.
