In the vibrant and ever-changing world of contemporary art, certain voices stand out for their sincerity, boldness, and ability to captivate the eye while touching the soul. Andrew Hollimon, aka Anaalu, is one of those rare artists whose work transcends aesthetic categories to reach the realm of pure emotion. Based in Lake Worth, Florida, Anaalu creates without constraints, without schools, without shackles—but with a vision of disarming clarity: “Art lives when you see it.”

A bold and authentic artistic signature

Ana`alu is an artist of the moment, but also of depth. His practice is based on a personal mantra: “the eye is a portal to sensory perception. ” And he gently forces this portal open by saturating the gaze with details, colors, and textures so rich that a single glance is never enough. We look, we come back, we discover. Again and again.

His technique? Oil, acrylic, modeling clay, palette knife, and even gold leaf—tools he masters in his own way, without academic artistic training, but with the instinct of a true visual storyteller. Each work is conceived as a novel condensed into a single frame. And if the viewer draws closer, they are rewarded with subtleties that only careful observation can reveal.

Works that speak – loudly, truly, and with heart

Mister Moseley's Candy Store (2024) is not just a painting, it is a vibrant memory, a testimony of childhood marked by segregation but illuminated by small, simple joys: a five-cent piece, a visit to grandmother, a candy at school. Through an explosion of colors inspired by the Bauhaus, the artist transforms this reminiscence into a work that is both intimate and universal, a true “eye-candy” where emotion mixes with energy. This more radical idea of transformation is found in Pandora (Diptych) (2021) , where the artist questions the evolution of our mental and social structures: from chaos comes renewal, powerfully expressed in composition and textures. Finally, Composition 1 Green (2024) explores another facet of his artistic research, playing on geometry and visual depth through structured forms, stenciled backgrounds and subtle modeling. More abstract, this work is no less captivating, testifying to the diversity of Anaalu's approaches and his commitment to pushing the boundaries of art.

An artist to follow, to support, to collect

His philosophy can be summed up in a powerful phrase: “The hammer only hits the nail that sticks out.” Daring to stand out, to provoke, to exist: this is what defines his art. Anaalu is not neutral; he challenges, and this is precisely why he deserves to be seen, exhibited… and acquired. An artist of the present, rooted in his past experiences and focused on an aesthetic of progressive revelation, he offers works that are both mirrors and windows: they reflect the intimate while opening up new perspectives. For discerning collectors and art lovers, investing in Anaalu means betting on a creator with a strong identity, assertive originality, and an upward trajectory.
