Antonio Rillera

Visual Art – Miami

Antonio Rillera is Full-Time Artist from Miami, Florida. Like most children, he began drawing at an early age of 5 using crayons. As a child he was obsessed with Disney animated films and how art could be brought to life through animation to inspire and entertain others through story. After taking art in high school and college Antonio went through a period of not wanting to create art and having no inspiration for his work. During this time he worked various jobs and started successful businesses. The world of business however became draining and Antonio found himself in search of more fulfillment. In 2012, he decided to leave his business, leave Miami, and travel throughout France for 3 months with his girlfriend. During this time he met many artists throughout France and saw how art could change lives. After his journey through France, Antonio returned to the Miami with a newly kindled fire for creating art and making a difference. Instead of worrying about money or the empty material things in life, his new focus would be on improving and transforming lives through his work.
