Art Review of Aggie Villanueva’s Photographic Art
by Gloria Gales
(575) 268-6095
"Creating fine art photography that reaches a good deal further than just taking beautiful photographs, Aggie Villanueva has accomplished a body of work that speaks volumes. Her canvas is the sweeping landscape of New Mexico, with the charm and magic of the Southwest as her muse, she ventures out equipped with a camera, the skill of a professional photographer, and the creativity of an artist.
Aggie Villanueva understands her territory; it is obvious that she has become one with the haunting beauty of New Mexico. A long hike might take her to the edge of a stream, or the foothills of a mountain, where she thoughtfully arranges her photographs.
The photographs are romantic and dramatic and oddly enough, although bereft of people, they seem filled with life, as if Aggie, through the lens of her camera is able to show us that the Earth is a true living thing – every bit of it."
