JEAN -PIERRE VILLAFAÑE

INTERVIEW BY SABRINA ROMAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY ANDRÉS JAÑA

 

In this conversation, artist Jean Pierre Villafañe, whose vivaciousness for life echoes throughout, sets aside a moment to speak with Modernroad about the characters of life, those who've played a central role in his and where he intends to set his stage next.






 

 

To Puerto Rican multidisciplinary creative Jean-Pierre Villafañ, the world is an audaciously perforative stage and we, whether we be lawyers, bankers or dancers, are her characters, unchoreographed in our gestures and countenances, the same ones which would come to life on his canvas through his own spontaneous movements with a paintbrush. After spending his childhood on the Caribbean island, Villafañ immigrated to New York to pursue an architectural profession. Whilst he now predominantly focuses on carving out a space for himself in the art-sphere, each of these roles has come together to create the persona that today, makes him one of the most high-octane, up-and-coming creatives to keep an eye on.
