Known best for her analytical cubist perspective of traditional themes with deep, vivid colors and primary tones, Villanueva's new "Hawaii Heritage and Folk Art" collection moves the self-taught artist in a creative direction more reflective of her local roots. Her work captures the warm and whimsical free spirit of the islands with a vibrant palette of pastel hues and tropical colors.

Villanueva's new homegrown perspective takes a modern day look at Hawaii's world-renowned outdoor lifestyle. Her subjects, mostly female, are exotically depicted dancing hula, making music, playing on the beach or in the ocean, often surrounded by colorful plants, birds, fish and dolphins. The bright and cheerfully adventurous detailed original oils remain true to Villanueva's signature neo-cubist style.

Born and raised in Kona, Villanueva displayed a tendency toward the arts was apparent by age 6. While attending school in Ohio as a teen, she was introduced to the works of Pablo Picasso and Henri Matisse, whose distinctive, abstract techniques would years later become a driving influence in her own artistic expression.

Upon her return home in 1990, a rekindled passion for abstract and cubist art inspired her to put paint to canvas in late 1996. Within a year, her work would debut at a public showing and gained islandwide recognition in January 1997 with a featured television segment on "Hawaiian Moving Company" that dubbed her a "Picasso Painting Prodigy."

Today, Villanueva's works hang in private collections across the country and around the world. All of her work is created exclusively in Hawaii where her prolific style and exotic, artistic vision have earned her recognition as one of the island's most unique neo-cubist artists.
