Ancient ruins beneath a breathtaking sunrise, golden rays illuminating the ancient hermitages or monoliths that resist the passage of time… Paul Williams clearly has a special skill for photographing the past.
Be it fantastic beasts in medieval frescoes, classic statues or Neolithic terracotta objects, Williams’ collection presents numerous wonders of art history: the Mycenaean Mask of Agamemnon, the ruins of Knossos on Crete or the Parthenon Marbles are just a few examples.
Paul Williams is inspired by the masters of visual arts – photographers like Paul Strand, Diane Arbus or Salgado, painters like Picasso or Matisse, and great film directors like Fellini or Coppola. A true artistic inspiration, observable in his careful framings and his splendid vision of color.
