"Pop Art has always been my favorite style. I like how it's simplistic in a sense but it's also a way to capture split-second emotions. It's blatant and there aren't too many undertones," Vidana explained. "I also like the feeling of looking through a window of a store or gallery or standing twenty feet away from a painting and being able to see every detail."
Vidana's fascination with art began early in his life. He began painting and drawing comic strips at just eleven years old. By the time he was fourteen he was painting nearly every day.
"I think once I started painting all the time, I knew that's what I wanted to do. I just wanted to be a painter," he said.
Vidana credits his artistic sensibilities to a history of artist in his family. His great-grandfather was a photographer from Cuba who traveled the world to photograph landmarks in the 1920's. and Vidana's Grandfather who worked in oils and still-lifes. Vidana Continued the family tradition by creating art , apprenticing with several painters and printmakers but has never been to school for art.
Vidana has shown his Paintings in gallery's and Cafes in New York, Miami, Seattle, Los Angeles, San Diego, Dallas, Portland, and Vancouver. He dreams of having the first Art Show in the International space station and to be the first artist to paint in space.
