William started painting under the guidance of pioneer artist Tan

Puay Tee at the age of 10. Through his mentorship, William studied

colour and form. William first started out painting and observing

nature through watercolour. Over the years he experimented with

various media, but nature as a thematic study has never left his

canvas. It appears in various guises.

The worlds William create find their roots in happiness. The sub-

jects of his paintings are a blend of nature and mechanical ob-

jects: they depict, singly and as collectives, dreamscapes where

positivity reigns.
