"Colors 88" is an original Original Painting painting on Paper by Wyland that is hand-signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Measures approximately 36.5" x 29" (framed), 29.5" x 22" (image).

Wyland was born in Detroit, Michigan. He was a student of the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit and majored in sculpture and painting. After graduating, Professors Jay Holland, Russel Keeter and Bill Gerard urged Wyland to relocate to California where he could continue to improve on his already evident artistic talent.

Wyland has earned the reputation of being one of America’s most exceptional innovative influences, as well as an outspoken advocate for marine resource conservation. His non-profit Wyland Foundation supports several conservation programs, including his monumental "100 Whaling Walls" mural project — an epic series of one hundred life sized marine life murals that spans twelve countries on four continents, and is viewed by an estimated 1 billion people every year. The project is now documented in a deluxe Collector's Fine Art Book - one of 20 this prolific artist has written and published so far. The artist’s efforts, moreover, have been recognized by the United Nations, Sierra Club, the Underwater Academy of Arts and Sciences, where he is listed among its Diving Hall of Fame, and private and public institutions throughout the world.

Long Beach, California native Jim Warren creates magical, color-filled masterpieces that have made him one of today's most sought-after and prolific artists. You've seen his art even if you don't know it, for Warren has been commissioned to create billboards, award-winning album covers, set props for TV, and book covers -in addition to his own personal creations - across the country over the last several decades. Inspired by Salvador Dali, Warren combines razor-sharp Realism with gorgeously whimsical Impressionism, Pop Art, Surrealism - you name it, Warren has absorbed many impressions and influences to create a style all his own. What makes Warren truly happy is this: "The letters and emails I get from people around the world who say they have been touched in some way by my paintings. The fact that my art can create an effect like that for some people, and act as a positive influence in their lives, means a great deal to me."
