Willie Báez

Willie Báez was born and raised in the East Village of New York City. Primarily self-taught, his early works represent the sensibilities of Caribbean, Mexican and Native American figure and abstract works in pastel. His range of subject matter, however, is diverse — an experimentation of various styles and techniques. Currently residing in Hoboken, Willie continues to explore works in acrylics on canvas. His latest pieces form a collection of abstract landscapes called "Solitaire" demonstrating layers of vibrant colors of single trees on a horizon.
