Artist Bio
Wilfred’s paintings reflect his rich cultural experiences on life’s journey which have culminated in stylish city living, and which embrace elements of both Eastern and Western culture. His direct and expressive approach allows manmade and natural structures coexist in perfect harmony within the spaces in which they are placed by the artist.
Born in 1954 into an artistic Dutch family living in Shanghai, Wilfred started to paint at the age of seven. After learning Chinese painting techniques from his father, his obvious talent led him on to attend the prestigious Shanghai Art School for five years.
In the early 1970s Wilfred visited China’s Five Great Mountains and this turned out to be a seminal experience for the young art student. They are the most renowned sacred mountains in Chinese history but he visited them more for their natural beauty, and spent many months there peacefully communing with nature and learning how to express it in his paintings.
In 1977 Wilfred took a massive life step by emigrating to Hawaii. The vibrant colours, stunning light and relaxed atmosphere inspired him to move into the world of abstract art and it was here that he began to strive towards a genuine mastery of colour and the technical perfection which are now his most recognisable qualities.

We were looking for a unique piece for my parents 50th anniversary. The ladies were very helpful and gave great ideas what pieces represented. We chose a lovely puffin sculpture called rocky romance. I would definitely recommend this gallery who wants one to one custom, knowledge of their pieces.Rachel Cowel
Fantastic service from the Beverley gallery. Both David and Evie were helpful and knowledgeable. We decided on 2 Tom Butler prints and David was happy to bring them to our home so we could see them in situ and answer any questions we had. We are delighted with both and would definitely recommend Trent GalleriesCathy Scarr
