霍尔登·威勒工作与生活在美国缅因州波特兰。他是一位跨学科艺术家,1999年出生于美国缅因州。他于2021年获得莫斯拉特艺术学院(Montserrat College of Art)绘画专业的美术学士学位。目前居住在缅因州乡村的他,通过朋友和家人的视角创作作品,努力呈现乡村日常生活的体验,并在过去、现在和未来之间建立对话。
作为一名艺术家,霍尔登对捕捉主题的灵魂与能量充满兴趣。因此,他的作品主要关注人物形象及其与空间的互动。他总是思考光线和运动如何转化为色彩,威拉德的绘画作品表现了人物在环境中散发的能量。他模糊、富有表现力、自由但协调的色彩运用,使他能够以柔和却有力的方式描绘人类情感。这一概念也与他对描绘梦境如何在画布上呈现的兴趣相关。

Holden Willardis a multi-disciplinary artist born in 1999 in Maine, USA. He received his BFA in Painting from Montserrat College of Art in 2021.Holden’s work strives to portray the experience of everyday life in the Maine countryside, where he currently lives, through the lens of friends and family while creating a dialogue between the past, present, and future.
、
As an artist, Holden is fascinated with capturing a subject's soul and energy. His work, therefore, primarily deals with the figure and its interaction within space. Always considering how light and movement translate to colors, Willard's paintings portray the energy that his subjects radiate within their surroundings. His blurry, expressive, liberated, yet cohesive use of color allows him to depict human emotions in a soft but powerful way. That notion is also related to the artist’s interest in portraying how dreams might feel if one were to paint them.
