Artist D.Will

D. Will

D.Will signature of Darnel L.Williams:

Born in Saginaw MI, in 1978, and raised in Flint MI until college. I graduated from Alma College in 2002 with a degree in art and design, focusing on painting and related sources. Continuing my education with a Master in Business and Administrative, focusing on Marketing and gaining a certificate in entrepreneurship.

I began my life as an artist when I was six years old.

I started, with simple drawing and tracing. Than around the age of ten, I began to free hand, mostly cartoon and still life. I became a painter shortly after, creating landscapes and indoor scenery. I didn't start collaborating art with music until just before college, where I found, mixing hip hop and R&B increased my creative thinking. Before long, I started connecting the sounds of different kinds of music, which becomes a form within my art.

The focus was to collaborate the influence of music with color and motion. By using the sound of music and the combination of colors, I am able to integrate forms and show emotion within my work. It was my hope to give my audience a "feel good thought", a sense of good times and happy occasion. I want to imitate the music I am listening to at the time, with the process of their creation.

Taking the necessary colors to show that sound, rather than placing complementary color together, in order to get the meaning across. Placing colors that would not otherwise fit together gives the vibration of the sound a form that can be seen, allowing it to imitate emotions. Then the motion of the painting itself is the connector of music and color. I try to make the audience see what the music is doing to the form in the hopes that it will do the same to them.

Objective:

To best utilize my diverse education. Broaden my existing creativity, overcome challenges and gain opportunities for professional and personal growth.
