EMILIO VILLALBA | Trekell Art Supply

EMILIO VILLALBA

 Medium of Choice: Oil

“Trekell brushes are the best, they are perfect out of the box and age very well. The bristle brushes are tough and can handle a heavy load of paint being dragged across canvas over and over. Love the design and love the feel. Thanks Trekell!"

Emilio Villalba is a Mexican-American painter living in San Francisco. Born in Chula Vista and raised in Southern California, he grew up interested in drawing and art. He created a career in Los Angeles as a visual-effects artist, animating television commercials and film.

After two years in the industry, he moved to San Francisco to study fine art. He’s now focused on exploring painting figuratively, pulling inspiration from both old masters and contemporary artists— from Velazaquez to Alice Neel and Basquiat.
