Vongsak Hansana

Born 1999, Vientiane. Lives and works in Vientiane.

From early morning to late evening, even at night time, he thinks, he lives, he breathes his art, itโ€™s a permanent brainstorming from which ideas spring to fill his paintings. An essential energy. Expressing himself through art is his lifeblood. From the age of 5-6, Willy felt this attraction to artistic things, but it was during his high school years that the artistic discipline was revealed to him. At this time, it showed to become necessary, fundamental.

His creative dynamic emerges from his life and an internal suffering that he keeps secret, but that he transcribed in his artworks. It is through the impulse of his daily wounds that his imagination generates his artwork. This is not the only source of his creative force; it also comes from his girlfriend who is there as a muse but also a permanent support with sometimes a critical look or an admiring eye. His inspirations are nourished by his dreams, even more often by his nightmares โ€” as he specifiesโ€”, which he transposes into sketches then enriching by his masters as Thai artists as Prateep Chocabua and Tawan Duchanee, or Salvatore Dali and Max Ernst.

Often he dresses in black colour, not only as to reflect a mindset, but also as a necessary chromatic neutrality for him, after that he filles his canvases exuding colorful worlds.

Willy likes to gather around themes, because for him a story cannot be summed up in a single image, a painting; this is why he likes to produce series animated by his life, by our daily lives: “Global Warming”, “In my Mind” or “Land of Happinessโ€. His paintings describe both an alarm call, but also and above all a message of happiness and hope.

Although his tough life, yesterday became his light for today, which nourish his artistic impulses, itโ€™s current topics or aspirations of the moment which animate his art on a daily basis. Thus, he is able to transform his sufferings into surreal dream worlds that reflect his sensitivity, his vision of the world, making his life, his daily life, a fresco to create Art, to live his art to make his life better and share his fears, his hopes through his already very successful universe for such a young artist.

Willy is a young artist who expresses himself through art from his childhood. His inspirations come from his life and intimate reflection, his sufferings, his dreams, his girlfriend. He likes to gather around themes, such as “Global Warming”, “In my Mind”, and “Land of Happiness”. Although his life of yesterday become his lights for today which nourish his artistic impulse, His paintings reflect his sensitivity and vision of the world, making his life a fresco to create Art and live his art to make his life better.
