ABOUT THE ARTWORK

An impressionistic painting of Banksia integrifolia, commonly known as coast banksia, is a species of tree that grows along the east coast of Australia. One of the most widely distributed Banksia species, it occurs between Victoria and Central Queensland in a broad range of habitats, from coastal dunes to mountains. I have used a drawing method of scratching back to reveal complementary red, orange and yellow undertones in the background paint layers. Thick acrylic paint is used to achieve the textures showing the history of the paint application and mark making; the way you can see through to the under painting where I have scratched creates an overlapping pattern with a beautiful rhythm of colors and textures. - Professionally framed in white Tasmanian Oak - This comes with string/wire on the back to hang the artwork. - The work is varnished for protection - Signed at the back with my name, date, and artwork title. - Insitu photo not to scale.

Joseph Villanueva is a sgraffito impressionist artist based in Melbourne, working primarily in acrylics. His technique involves scratching through a layer of still-wet paint to reveal complementary colours underneath. He has a background in Architecture and Landscape Architecture. His paintings are inspired by his surroundings and the sensation of colors and textures. He enjoys landscapes in bloom, wonderous skies, garden vistas in explosions of flowers, and bright colors. Interiors are also a favorite subject inspiration from his plant collections at home. His palette of colors is often bright and optimistic, which echoes free-flowing linework dancing over the surface. Painting may seem totally abstract at first, but soon you'll realize the compositions are grounded in figurations and structural elements describing the flora, landscape, and bursting sky. The elements of land, sky, and nature overlap each other in the painting. His technique is layered with consideration to background colors and washes, which eventually are uncovered in the final piece. He draws freehand over the wet paint with virtuosity and imaginative flare from memory - sometimes from observation and references. Joseph Villanueva has become a favorite with collectors. His paintings have been exhibited nationally and are held in private collections around the world in 16 countries and 5 continents. He’s been regarded as one of Bluethumb Art Gallery’s Best Emerging Australian Artist of 2019/2020, Art Lovers Australia’s best seller of 2019/2020, Singulart Magazine’s best contemporary Australian Artist to watch and is consistently selling in various online art platforms globally.
