Commissioned Family Portrait
The following artworks were commissioned paintings by Mark. This set shows a family portrait with vivid colors and bright hues.
A Black and White Portrait
Here is another commissioned portrait made by Mark of one of his clients, Ms. Zharmagne Dizon. This time around, Mark shows us how a black and white portrait still seem as stunning as that of a colorful painting without its details being stripped down from it.

Painting on Shoe Canvas
Paintings can be done in different mediums and varied grounds. Here Mark shows us that he can also paint portraits on shoes. Having this kind of personalized shoes would make one stand out since you aren't only wearing your own personal style but you also carry with you an impressive artwork.

Bedtime Stories-A Series of Recent Artworks
Don't we just miss having to listen to bedtime stories when we were still children?
These bedtime stories were relive in a series of recent paintings created by Mark himself. He was inspired to paint characters and elements from different fairy tales and children's stories since he himself enjoyed listening to and reading children's storybooks.
Here are just some of Mark's paintings which are part of his 'Bedtime Stories' series.

The Art of Magic Realism
Magic realism is a genre of art in which magical elements blend to create a realistic atmosphere that reaches a deeper understanding of reality. The story explains these magical elements as normal occurrences, presented in a straightforward manner that places the 'real' and the 'fantastic' in the same stream of thought. It was also described as 'something that happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something 'too strange to believe.'
In one of Mark's recent works, the first of his series is just a sample of some of his artworks injected with magic realism. Shown here is his self-portrait being depicted as one who transforms into a frog, thus, a picture of a modern-day frog prince.

Pop Art-Warholesque Painting by Mark Villanueva
Warhol + -esque =warholesque, adj. Reminiscent of Andy Warhol's style or works.
If you are thinking of a way to create uniqueness in your home, consider having a Warhol-esque painting of your own. The radiant colors of an Andy Warhol pop art creates a statement in any place and is also one way of giving life to a design scheme that has fallen a little flat.
The following are pictures of a commissioned family portrait that Mark created in a Warholesque way.

Portraitures
Seen here are just two of commissioned paintings by Mark Villanueva, both of which are portraitures of two people who are close to his heart - his cousin Cris Villanueva and Cris' father-in-law, Mr. Waldy Carbonell. Mark was indeed fortunate in having the chance to work with and for Mr. Carbonell as a layout artist and graphic designer in his publication, "The Manila Hotline."

The Art of Doing Abstract
This one is a commissioned painting of Mark Villanueva for Mr. and Mrs. Dizon.
Lyrical abstraction, as an art movement, was born out of desire to create a direct physical and sensory experience of painting through their monumentality and emphasis on color--forcing the viewer to "read" paintings literally as things.
To some writers, the term 'lyrical abstraction' implies particularly 'a lush and sumptuous use of color' as seen here in Mark's commissioned painting. This painting has a low key, relaxed composition, and there's emphasis on the spontaneity of colors.
Abstract art, also known as nonfigurative art,is in its visual form in which the composition takes liberty in its color and form and it is depicted in ways where it is apart from reality and its accurate representation.
