DeBilzan Art
William DeBilzan Gallery
My friend and Caribbean artist, William DeBilzan has his Delray art gallery on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach.
This highly creative Caribbean artist used his vivid imagination when naming his Delray art gallery the most appropriate name ever, DeBilzan Gallery! Don’t ya love it! I do. Makes him easy to find on the internet!
Although DeBilzan always found himself preoccupied with the love of art, it wasn't until later in life that Bill’s artistic talent revealed itself -- in his garage of all places!
Bill said he would spend time in his garage painting but it started out being more just for the fun of it but soon he became so passionate about his painting, he couldn’t wait to wake up and start at it -- all over again!
His love of painting began to blossom!

DeBilzan says that painting was his passion but never in his wildest dreams did he realize he was going to make a living at it and never in his double-wildest dreams did he think he would actually own art galleries.
DeBilzan Gallery in Delray Beach, Florida
Bill has had as many as three art galleries. One in Santa Fe, New Mexico, one in Laguna Beach, California and one in Delray Beach, Florida.
Just recently his Santa Fe, New Mexico art gallery was closed after 10 years of business.
No worries though, you can still view DeBilzan art at his Delray art gallery and DeBilzan's Laguna Beach art gallery.
Caribbean Art Caribbean Artist
Caribbean artist, Bill DeBilzan, lets his art reveal human emotions and feelings. It's something everyone can relate to.
Feelings that reveal vulnerability. Feelings that radiate pure joy. Feelings of intimacy. Feelings of happiness.
Scenes of lovers with hearts floating in the air.
Families with crooked houses in the backgrounds.
Bright sunshine and palm trees with Caribbean surroundings.
Oh, and yes, even nude women displaying breasts -- delightfully full breasts, with personality and character and raspberry-colored nipples.
The people are of extraordinary slender build.
Abstract figures, resembling stick figures with their elongated bodies.
No faces and simple clothing, yet even with such simplicity; DeBilzan is somehow capable of revealing emotions even without a face!
It must be in the body language. With the tilt of a head toward a lover revealing love is in the air. Or the wanting of a lover, or the passion of a kiss, the brightness of the sun, the feeling of warmth, the happiness that encompasses it all.
It's what everybody wants, but so few find. Happiness and love.
And in the land of fiction, you’ll find this Caribbean artist uses his fun-loving imaginative abilities in his building structures.
They almost have a cartoon-character theme to them -- resembling lopsided houses, some without a door, some with funky, crooked windows, with some buildings being almost-but-not-quite square churches.
Or sometimes gyrating bright-colored circles floating around the canvas.
Or maybe Caribbean art with a scene of palm trees, bold colors, bright sun, and of course, no worries!
Or perhaps a countryside landscape with a house in the background and a white picket fence depicting the perfect family and pure love.
DeBilzan Art Brings Love, Joy and Happiness
Bill says people come into his Delray art gallery all the time commenting that they have a painting of his at home and how happy it makes them feel.
Others will say what joy their DeBilzan painting brings to a room, stating, "Every time they look at it they feel happy".
He says this is a goal of his, to make people feel happy and positive and this is clearly revealed in the playful art of DeBilzan.
