Dean de Villiers
Dean de Villiers is a Perth based artist who discovered his passion for art in his early years. As Dean found himself spending all his spare time creating detailed graphite drawings and acrylic paintings, his skill developed quickly across a range of mediums, allowing multiple projects to progress simultaneously.
I have spent my entire life drawing and always looking for perfection, testing myself, my stamina, my patience, and overcoming adversity. A large portion of my life was spent in the building industry as a plumber running my own business, along the way I picked up tiling as a second trade, later becoming a registered builder. My time in the building industry came to an end after recognising that utilising my creative side was, and always has been my one true passion.
Dean is known for his exquisitely detailed, hyper realist graphite drawings. In contrast, his acrylic painting style is bold, with large blocks of colour and cartoon like elements. Dean has begun to extend his artistic practise in large scale murals in well established venues around Perth. Dean considers himself a modern artist, with a bright, fun, style and we agree!
