Rainier Gonzalez
VJL Gallery welcomes Rainier Gonzalez of Kissimmee, FL
Born into a family of artists in the Philippines, Rainier grew up immersed in the world of fine art, helping manage the family art gallery in Manila and learning the craft under the wing of his father, Rick Gonzalez.
It wasn’t until 2016, after moving to Florida with his brother, Rodelio Gonzalez (of Disney and Star Wars Fine Art fame), that Rainier became encouraged to pick up the brush again and paint.
He specializes in painting the vibrant colors of sunrise and sunset skies and capturing the tranquility of the Florida coast. He also enjoys doing seascapes and silhouettes.
