max da silva willis

I have practised as a contemporary Visual Artist for over 15 years, specialising in painting, illustrating and mixed media. I'm inspired by macabre thematics, mental illness and the female form. My work is often emotive. Sometimes I delve into the inequality of our current political climate by reflecting on the evocative nature of an unequal socio-economic climate in the UK.

​

I'm also drawn to the enchanting realm of nature, particularly influenced by my lifelong love affair with forests. They've been my sanctuary, offering me solace, tranquillity and imagination.

My deep connection to nature is echoed in my whimsical gothic illustrations, which captivate the enchanting charm of the woods at night, while embodying the essence of dark fairy tales.
