His dignified view of the traditionally marginal led him to create authentic human archetypes from strangers, "who obviously would not be relevant if he did not make them transcendent. Without that, they wouldn't be important now."
"I was very interested in people, always from a very emotional link, not at all social: the homeless, the castaways of society, also the hustlers..."
Warhol said of him that he was the "only pop painter with a soul", although he does not recognize himself as pop despite his respect for the masters of the movement. Villalba was already openly homosexual in times not very given to positioning; the treatment given to male nudity, between the symbolic and the emotional, is a faithful reflection of that. "I have always been very sincere and nothing has happened to me. Before it was complicated, I know; now it's more accepted. So accepted that I've come to Valencia and I can't find a single gay bar where I used to pick up guys."
