Rhys Caldwell-Clarkson told the Â鶹Éç he was 'speechless' at finding out the billionaire bought on of his paintings, saying he adored the artist's creativity. The boss of the Virgin Group, in a surprise to the Worcestershire artist, said 'keep painting, keep dreaming and just show the world what you can do'. Rhys was diagnosed as autistic at 8 years old and quit his job in retail because he found it overwhelming. He later discovered a love for art and began creating paintings inspired by the landscape of the Worcestershire countryside, which he sells through his business, Art on the Spectrum.
