Valeria Patrizi
Painting works
In her large canvases, displayed without frames as if they were large tapestries, Valeria Patrizi seeks balance of form through lines and spots, using coffee, tea and bitumen. Constantly searching for a new and symbolic idea of the human figure, she focuses on the image of women; the only one in which she can lose herself and find herself again.
Biography

Valeria Patrizi was born in 1979 in Rome, where she currently lives and works.
In 1999, she specialised in pictorial decoration at the I.S.A. Roma2 Art Institute. In 2004, after attending the Facultad de Bellas Artes de Granada in Spain for a year, she graduated in painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome.
With a diploma in painting restoration from the Scuola di Restauro San Giacomo del Comune di Roma, she began her artistic career by studying painting techniques and form through drawing and the study of anatomy. After a long period of studying academic painting, she broke away from it and moved towards a new, more essential and original dimension of painting.
She has participated in important group and solo exhibitions at private galleries and institutional spaces such as the Diocesan Museum of Caltagirone, Palazzo Del Pegaso, seat of the Regional Council of Tuscany, La Pelanda, and the Macro Testaccio Museum in Rome. She has participated in contemporary art fairs in Italy and abroad for many years.
