In a stunning collaboration, photographer Wilford Wells breathes life into the classical aesthetic through his lens, with model Peter Williams—a.k.a. Petarious—as his living canvas.
Once a fixture in art studios for life drawing and sculpture classes, Williams brings a refined elegance to every composition. With a degree in art history from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, he masterfully channels classical and Renaissance artistry into his poses.
Williams maintains a physique inspired by the “Grecian Ideal,” a tribute to the balanced proportions and grace of vintage bodybuilding and classical statuary. This sculptural approach—grounded in both academic and physical discipline—makes him an ideal subject for creative expression.
His partnership with Wells is a meeting of visionary minds: the photographer uses light, framing, and mood to highlight Williams’s ethereal yet powerful presence. Whether gracing editorial spreads, fitness campaigns, or art-forward collaborations, Williams merges timeless artistry with modern expression.
Together, Wells and Williams redefine what it means to be a muse in the digital age: a harmonious fusion of heritage, refinement, and bold creativity.
