Born in 1982
The story begins in classic fashion at the end of the 80s: a child loves drawing and enjoys endlessly reproducing his favorite Club Dorothée comics and manga. Asterix, Tintin, Dragon Ball's Lucky Luke, Knights of the Zodiac, Olive and Tom and more were all on display in Wiley's early sketchbooks. Beyond awakening your nostalgia, these details are important for the sequel 😉
In his teens, his passion for graffiti continued unabated, and expanded with the discovery of graffiti. For years, the artist painted in vacant lots or in his improvised studio. At the same time, he studied graphic arts, honing his drawing skills and perfecting his lettering. Wiley's began to imagine his first characters. Little by little, he ventured onto canvas, and his first gallery show soon followed.
After an artistic break, Wiley's returns to the forefront with new characters. Hidden and interwoven in a cheerful world full of positive symbols, their sole mission is to attract sympathy.
In the midst of a turbulent world, the artist simply wishes to convey positive energy and a message of peace. His works are there to convey joy without intellectual discourse and, above all, without snobbery.
