Ann Grebel Villanueva

A self-taught artist who drew inspiration from several Renaissance masters, Ann Grebel works as a full-time visual artist and educator. Adept in multi-media, with the versatility to use any art material, her works focus more on contemporary realism and surrealism.

Her artworks feature realistic representations of people, animals, plants, landscapes, and seascapes. One can sense her works’ inspiration and optimism from the intensity of the colors, texture, and consistency.

Amid the pandemic, she taught arts for free in her province, Masbate. Despite her modest stature, she advocates raising awareness of visual arts in the local community.

She believes humanity must co-exist with art to advance and leave lasting imprints on society so future generations can learn from them.
