OGRE SHOP is a place discovered in the mind of a young

left-handed artist by the name of Arlyn Pillay. The emotional content of

his artistic inceptions are extracted from his childhood experiences, and

deeply rooted emotions.

“Ogres were a childhood fascination of mine, says Pillay. I

believe they were the first things I related to in movies and cartoons

that opened the doors of my mind to places that were surreal and

imaginative."

"I love to create and to share my creations with people. And so began

OGRE SHOP, a place where people can visit and experience my creations.”

“My work is an undefined and constantly evolving emotional expression. It

comes from deep within my spirit where the emotional content flows freely

through my touch”.

“Part of my inspiration to create is driven by people that see,

connect, and react to my work. Their feelings help me develop as an

artist and their excitement fuels my desire to continue to create. And

so, when I sit down to draw I am stimulated by determination and

encouragement, for they both embrace me with the feeling that my artistic

soul is evolving”.

Within the pages of his sketchbook you’ll find an unusually

astonishing world filled with fascinating imagery, doodles of whimsical

creatures, superbly detailed patterns, elegant flowing lines, seamless air

light gradations, and dense realistic renderings, all of which seem to

fuse together harmoniously.

Through OGRE SHOP, Arlyn Pillay passionately shares his unique

creations with people around the world which they can collect at

www.OGREshop.com and find in a number of boutiques and galleries.

He has received numerous awards and scholarships from the state of

California, galleries, competitions, and several colleges. He's also featured in

newspapers,

magazines, and independent films.
