Elvin John Villar is a design director by profession, with more than 12 years of experience as a visual creative thinker and problem solver for brands.

Abstract Expressionism is his outlet and his way to set himself free from the hustle and bustle of the creative industry. Painting is his double life. It’s his unrestricted way to express his unique and peculiar style.

He paints using bold strokes and heavy impasto, drawing emotion from memory, and approaching the canvas with the childlike intention of pure, unadulterated expression. When creating, he enjoys letting loose and playfully transferring his thoughts into strokes. He rejects any realistic visual representation of life and takes pleasure in breaking the rules. He often paints to the tune of jazz music.
