Gilbert Williams is the world's most renowned and revered 
Visionary painter. His canvases glow with transcendent light 
and a remarkable panorama of archetypal images: temples, 
groves, lakes and light beings, goddesses and nature spirits, 
moons and magical mountains. 
Gilbert Williams was born in Santa Monica, California, on 
January 2, 1950. When he was five, his family moved to 
Anaheim, California.

Williams' career as a professional painter began in earnest
in Mt. Shasta, California, in late 1970s, when he began 
selling paintings in local galleries. Major national magazines 
took notice, and so did Hollywood. His images have been 
used for album covers by Michael Jackson, by Crosby, 
Stills & Nash, and for the Fresh Aire albums produced by 
Mannheim Steamroller & The London Symphony. They 
have also been used as cover art and illustration by Omni 
Magazine. His reputation spread rapidly, and in the early 
1980s Williams became the featured painter at the 
Illuminarium Gallery and Isis Rising. Now Williams' originals 
are frequently sold to collectors within days of completion. 
And Isis Rising publishes notecards, posters, matted art, art 
books and lithographs of Williams' works.


Q. What is Visionary Art?

A. Visionary Art is a form of Surrealism which contains two 
unique paradigms of reality represented naturalistically, 
and it contains an uplifting message or spiritual content. The 
way in which Visionary Art differs from classical Surrealism 
is that classical Surrealism or social surrealism often contains 
negative imagery. Visionary Art is unique in that often it 
brings light into a dark perspective, speaking to people of 
hope, peace, greater possibilities, and grander futures.

Q. What is the purpose of this kind of art in our time?

A. Metaphysical/visionary art strives to contact the hidden 
dream worlds that contain our true natures as spiritual beings. 
Images arise that resonate with our ancient source, and our
luminous future selves. 
We are on the brink of an evolutionary jump that is 
unprecedented in human history. Art can put us in touch with 
that deep divine part of our selves that is positive and loving. 
I hope that is what we create for our future.
