Welcome to Utterly Art

Cris Villanueva Jr. obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from the Philippine Christian University in 1984, then graduated from the University of the Philippines Fine Arts with a major in Visual Communications in 1990. His works draw ideas from commonplace objects, classical and popular culture, literature, art,  history and his own life, and he has a signature style of painting bubble wrap over his finished painting to 'own' the work indelibly. He is a member of the historic groupings of Salingpusa and Madruguada, and a triple winner at the Philip Morris Philippine Art Awards, including Juror's Choice (2006, 2010) and the Grand Prize (2005).
