MJ Villanueva

Marc J. Villanueva is a painter of contemporary abstract works on canvas.  His compositions are a fusion of color, texture and movement achieved through the application of oil and acrylics, and sometimes married with organic material.  His work is characterized by his harnessing of images and shapes that emerge during the process of painting and by his attempt to transfer pure emotion directly onto the canvas.

M.J was educated at the University of Hawaii, receiving degrees in education and culinary arts.  His training in food preparation taught him the importance of color and texture, as evidenced in the delicious quality of his work.
