bio

Sicilian painter and performer, born in 1980, Valentina Chiappini lives in Milan (Italy).

Brilliantly graduated at "accademia italiana" Arte/Moda/Design in Florence (Italy),
she's currently completing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts of "Brera" (Milan).

Still very young, actually a child, Valentina started to paint on different surfaces.

At the age of sixteen she dicovered a truly personal painting way experimenting with
signs-sounds-colors and symbols ... focusing on her principal subject: the "scratch".

She uses blades in order to paint in a nervous way, creating geo-asymmetrical spaces,
fragmenting, de-structurating its integrity.

This personal, scratching, primitive art comes from the connubio of her passions
and has its deepest roots in ancient times, pre-history art expressions, actually a pre- art sign.

Scratch as witness of human presence/passage.
