Using found or recycled materials from his own collection the artist main subject is butterflies. He creates them from items such as used records and also beer cans.

For his artistic education Villinski attended the Massachusetts College of Art located in Boston, Massachusetts. He went on to earn a bachelor of fine arts degree from Cooper Union College located in New York City.
