Artist of the Month– Valentina Brostean

Come to our next inauguration and take the opportunity to meet Valentina Brostean, Artist of the Month of June, in our gallery and enjoy its very special artistic vibrations.

After spending more than a decade in Turin (Italy), he now resides in Barcelona (Spain). Brostean holds a degree in Graphic Design and a master’s degree in Illustration from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Novi Sad University. Brostean is a multidisciplinary visual artist with more than 15 years of experience in the creative world, working with both traditional and digital media.

His daring and colorful style, often described as “new contemporary figuration”, is specific to his use of brave and unexpected compositions, a daring color palette and a unique and striking imagery. In his personal work, he has been strongly inspired by all aspects of human nature, exploring subconscious emotional states, dreams, reality and surrealism. He has developed his own very personal technique and style, the result of a perpetual journey, a constant search for identity and complexity of meanings.

Recognized as one of the emerging contemporary artists appreciated by international clients, her work has been selected by Armani Exchange, The Washington Post, Il Corriere Della Sera, Bicycle USA and Kabinet Brewery, among many others.

NOMADS – Mask sculptures and ready-mades

“Since I arrived in Barcelona, I have become obsessed with objects of all kinds that people throw into the garbage daily, as well as the human relationship with these abandoned objects. “The trash of some are the treasures of others.”.

I collected and reused discarded objects as basic building material to create ready-made artwork. The alchemistic process was launched, when these objects began to have their faces and tell their story, revealing my internal transition and my metamorphosis!

I was looking for old suitcases, clothes, boxes, wooden panels, photos or letters that “rerenased” under my hands, also using glue, varnish, acrylic and watercolours. I called these objects and paintings “Nòmades”. Do they look at us on these faces? nomads – humans in transformation.
