William Li graduated from the Delft University of Technology and holds a Master of Science degree in Industrial Design Engineering. He currently works as an industrial design engineer with a design firm.

He started Fenyx to do freelance illustration and sell personal artwork on the side. In his artwork William Li strives for realism to make the fantastical look real and believable. His favorite art subjects therefore lies in science fiction and fantasy, and his preferred style is classical realism. Within Sci-Fi/Fantasy he finds people to be the most fascinating subjects to paint. He is also much inspired by Asian arts and most notably ancient Chinese culture.

His illustration skills include a wide variety of traditional media (such as pencil, ink, markers and airbrush), digital painting, vector art and 3D rendering, always aiming to reach an optimum of photorealistic images and effect. Digital painting has his preference because of its flexibility. These are done in Satori Paint or Photoshop and fully hand-painted very much like the traditional way. Alongside he is also experimenting with 3D rendered backgrounds or elements to achieve more realistic imagery.
