Valeria Patrizi
Painting works
In her large-scale canvases, displayed without frames like monumental tapestries, Valeria Patrizi seeks balance through lines and organic marks, using coffee, tea and bitumen. Constantly exploring new and symbolic interpretations of the human figure, she focuses on the image of woman: the only subject in which she can both lose and rediscover herself.
Biography
Valeria Patrizi was born in Rome in 1979, where she currently lives and works. In 1999, she specialized in pictorial decoration at the “I.S.A. Roma 2” Art Institute. After studying for a year at the Facultad de Bellas Artes de Granada in Spain, she graduated in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome in 2004. She also holds a diploma in pictorial restoration from the San Giacomo Restoration School of the Municipality of Rome.
Her artistic journey began with an in-depth study of painting techniques and form through drawing and anatomy. After a long period devoted to academic painting, she moved towards a more essential and original pictorial language.
She has participated in numerous important solo and group exhibitions at private galleries and institutional venues, including the Diocesan Museum of Caltagirone, Palazzo del Pegaso, the seat of the Regional Council of Tuscany, and La Pelanda at MACRO Testaccio in Rome. For many years, she has also participated in contemporary art fairs in Italy and abroad.
