Amsterdam museum displays work of British superstar

Robbie Williams not only shines on stage, he recently unveiled his artistic skills on canvas. The first in the world, Moco Amsterdam welcomed his latest art collection. A collection that fits seamlessly into today's conversations about mental health. 'What almost destroyed me ended up making me successful,' Williams said.

Born in Stoke-on-Trent, England, Robbie Williams garnered fame as a member of the iconic boy band Take That in the early 1990s. Songs such as Back for Good and Never Forget, among others, stormed the charts. However, a desire for creative independence and personal issues led to his departure in 1995. This moment marked the beginning of his solo career.

Several highs and lows in his career only created unprecedented pressure in both his professional and personal life. Several times this caused him to be admitted to rehab. During his last stay, the artist says he embarked on a self-reflective journey - "embracing the light and the dark - to transform inner demons into self-loving angels.

Visual diary

Williams had a lot of support from his art. For example, he recorded his feelings and thoughts through drawing and writing, like a visual diary of what was going on inside him. Sometimes with color, other times in black and white, "It is well known that my mental health was sometimes poor, and during those times art and humor were important tools for me."

The Moco Museum in Amsterdam has the world premiere. Through July 8, for the first time in the world, the star's works are on display here in the exhibition Pride and Self-Prejudice. According to the museum, his exhibition teaches that from the deepest valleys the most beautiful creations can emerge.
