| Your Personal Biography |
Autodidact Francis A Willey is a Canadian artist who's unique vision of the ethereal and macabresque realm of ghosts,
capturing the human body and metoric light and dark
of the empyreal deities,
fabric and skin has brought him international attention.
Francis expresses himself artistically through analog film photography,painting, poetry and piano composing and song. He recently had his first international photographic exhibit of ghost images and timeless portraits in Berlin over fashion week 2008.
Francis will be soon releasing his first solo piano album 'When we loved' November 2008.
Wrestling with the transcendency of light theories, music and poetry and the echelon of heart into the phantom and shroud. Has led him to the defined moment layered in mystery and fate.
Grasping one frame of empathy and grace and fear in a soulful dance towards
equanimity. |
