Noé Badillo has been a professional artist since 1994, when he began making black and white photographs in his hometown of Seattle, Washington. In 2003 he studied in Rome and became fascinated by the Renaissance and Italian culture. Upon his return he became a studio assistant to the great Argentinian conceptual artist, Osvaldo Romberg, who instructed him in classical painting by master copying, drafting, architectural modeling and color theory. Since then, his work has transformed greatly over the years and continues to transform as his life changes. Like the work of many artists, most notably Pablo Picasso, his work shifts through periods as his life changes and how he views the world around him. Very personal in nature, his work tends toward being moody, romantic, stylistically volatile and never static in composition, movement and color.

Badillo holds a PhD from Arizona State University in the history and theory of architecture, and is awaiting the release of his first book in the coming year.
