A DREAM

In 1980 (at the age of 16) William experimented with paint and colours to create his own magic worlds. In a time of phantasy and imagination (inspired by music and science-fiction) he made 30 paintings called “Origins”.

However at that time there were no possibilities to show his creations to the public because the paintings were to small (2×3cm). He wished that everyone could see all those fascinating worlds on a large format, but there were no means to realise that.

And so the paintings were stored, for almost 40 years.

CAME TRUE

In 2018 William got in touch with Grieger FineArt in Düsseldorf (Germany) and discovered their advanced techniques and high-tech facilities to reproduce his miniature paintings from 1980 on a very large scale.

After spending many days at Veit Fotodesign in Ratingen (Germany) photographing all the 30 “Origins” the work at Grieger could finally begin. Eventually the whole project took years to realise, but the outcome was amazing. Exactly how the “Origins” were meant to be seen by everyone.

After all those years a boy’s dream came true.
