Rodrigo E. Villarroel
Born January 7, 1960 in Santiago of Chile
Rodrigo love of art started at an early age. As a child, Rodrigo Villarroel grew up surrounded by art in his native country of Chile. He was only four years old when he discovered his own passion for art. Rodrigo drew inspiration from the artistic talents of his grandfather, father, older brother, and famous uncle, Rubén Villarroel, who was a widely acclaimed painter throughout South America in the 1940's to mid-1960's.
Since then, Rodrigo immersed himself in painting, sculpture, canvas, clay, pigments, and brushes and set out to create. He arrived to New Jersey in 1981, where he continued his artistic career.
After the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Rodrigo created a series of four paintings named Red, White, Blue and Fond Embrace that were unveiled at the New Jersey State House by Governor James McGreevey.
