Arlyn Pillay in his studio, creating his famous OGRE shop artwork. |
|
OGRE SHOP is a place that was discovered in the mind of a young artist by the name of Arlyn Pillay. The emotional content of each of his artistic inceptions are extracted from his childhood imaginations, life experiences, and deeply rooted emotions. All of them share their origins of being meticulously hand-drawn by Arlyn with a mind set characterized by patience, persistence, personality, and passion.
|
“Ogres were a childhood fascination or mine, says Pillay. I believe they were the first things I related to in movies and cartoons that opened the doors in my mind to places that were surreal and imaginative. I love to create and to share my creations with people, for there are so many things I have in my head. And so I started OGRE SHOP, a place where people can visit and experience my creations”.

The "X-Pirate", is one of Arlyn Pillay's most loved creations by his OGREshop fans. |

“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”.
