Moderne and Contemporain magazine in Paris. His somewhat pixelated art style of the streets reminds us how to look at art from a different perspective. He says, “sometimes you look too close that you fail to see the whole picture”. There is a story evolving in the streets at anytime in the day. There is magic to one’s existence and the essence of life starts when we explore and journey to places we’ve never been to. There is a sense of wonder, of the unexpected, of stories and people that are intertwined in our lives. Windsor develops his art as he continues to travel to different places in reality or in the mind. The restless traveler in him never tires of improving his skills and finding ways to rediscover his life and give meaning to it.
