Press Release: 

Veks Van Hillik is a native of Southwestern France where he still lives and works, Veks’ paintings are surreal, influenced by the works of Gustave Doré, Ingres, Caravaggio, Dalí, and Breton, and strongly inspired by nature. The new collection plays with a confrontation between renaissance and Flemish compositions, and an nearly omnipresent but often overlooked element of modern times, the pixel, perhaps suggesting that even when things may seem to be fairly clear, you still might want to take a few steps back to truly see the full picture.
