M.J. Villanueva, East Point, GA
Marc James Villanueva, “MJ” is a painter of contemporary mixed-media and representational abstract works on canvas and wood panel. His compositions are a fusion of color, texture and movement achieved through the application of oil/acrylic paints, crushed Pau’a seashell, recycled glass, marble dust, copper, paper & Lauhala, indigenous Hawaiian fiber.
The colorful, soothing images reveal themselves through the artist’s exploration of media and technique. Ice & Heat-fusion methods are used to create highly textured, luminescent & multi-dimensional masterpieces.
The Aquatic world & Stellar universe are his inspiration encompassing his native Hawai’i!
**Current Master-works: Wai’honua (Water World) & Platinum Meta-Space Series
