Some words from the boss.

Hi Everyone this is Kunal aka The Boss of Wyld Pixel. First and foremost, thank you for stopping by and taking the time to read our story on how Wyld Pixel came about.

I officially started Wyld Pixel in late 2023 by opening my Etsy Store and selling art prints of my art. But the story of how all this came about started about a year before that. I just purchased my first ever property and it was an empty property in need of decor and especially some wall art. As much as I looked about I couldn’t find something I really liked and to my style, and if there was something I liked it was way over budget.

Having studied Digital Media Production at The University of Arts i went back to my roots and started creating my own digital artwork for what i wanted in my home.

Having created a few pieces i got them printed and displayed around my place. The compliments and requests i got for me to create artwork for people made me start to think maybe i can do more of this.

Easier said than done especially when you have an existing business to look after as well as a part time job at the time.

Nonetheless i kept slowly creating artwork and would slowly list on my Etsy store. One of my goals whilst creating Wyld Pixel was to make religious art more affordable and accessible to people without being charged a fortune to have the art in their home. If an artist want to charge over £1000 for a fairly large acrylic religious print that’s up to them though i want more people to have the art they like without the need to spend £1000s.

I love creating stuff, whether that be World Exclusive Products that have sold in Selfridges or Customised Luxury Products for NBA Players and Premiership Footballers or in this case a finished piece of art to go in peoples homes. It’s the best feeling seeing someone smile and happy with something you’ve created.

As for my art, i started creating religious art pieces more than 15 years ago so that passion has always been there for me and a subject close to my heart.

The art i create is all digitally created using a variety of tools and programs such as Photoshop, ProCreate, Midjourney and Illustrator. With the emergence and advancements of AI, I have started experimenting and utilising this more as a tool to create my vision and I love learning about it for me to create better artwork. I also do some stuff by hand as well such as my Swarovski crystal artwork and other bespoke pieces.

I love street art and pieces that are full of colour hence why you’ll see many colourful and modern pieces.

I hope the artwork I’ve created appeals to you and if you’re one of the lucky ones to have it in your home i hope it brings a lot of prosperity and smiles to your faces.

Please send me and email or follow me on instagram should you wish to ask me anything.

Best Regards

Kunal
