Villanueva is an Oriental Negrense artist who has chosen to embrace earth as his medium for transcendental art. He has made a name for himself by capturing the beauty of ancient Philippine and European churches, and has exhibited at the Philippine Center in the United Nations in New York in 1980, in Los Angeles in 1983, as well as in Saudi Arabia, Italy, and other countries.
Villanueva is also an environmentalist, and is the proprietor of the Ayungon Clay Mining Industry, which produces bentonite clay for sanitary landfill. For inquiries, please call (035) 422-6002 loc. 520 or loc. 250, or 09173235953. (Ian Rosales Casocot/SUCAC)
