Willea Zwey is a multidisciplinary artist and musician based in Chicago.
Drawing from her background in architecture, Willea’s artworks depict otherworldly scenes with unconventional perspective, surreal elements and deep storytelling.
Willea creates each artwork as a scene rather than a structured composition. Every scene provides space for moments and its attachments such as feelings, thoughts and actions to be collided, encountered and captured. Expressive color and high-level details are her favorite ways of worldbuilding within her art universe in which she particularly likes to use gentle and visually pleasant elements to obscurely delineate subjects with deeper meaning.
Since her 2021 debut in the digital art world, Willea's distinctive styles have gained global recognition, with her artwork auctioned on platforms including Sotheby's and exhibited worldwide, including Times Square, New York, Art Dubai, Digital Art Fair Hong Kong, NFT Paris, and Tokyo.
Beside her individual creative efforts, Willea is also a core member of the largest onchain Asian artist collective NFT Asia, and a guest curator for Chicago's first digital art gallery imnotArt.
