Original Works

This artwork embodies the path of transcendence—rooted in primordial order yet striving toward the celestial. The central figure, both man and tree, bears the weight of existence, wings outstretched in initiation. Fire, symbols of ancient rites, and cosmic duality frame his ascent. It is a call to those who reject the profane, seeking not just knowledge but transformation—the path of the awakened.

As an artist, I was especially drawn to the density of colour Valeria works with. The contrast of the dark background and the nuanced handling of tone in the silhouettes give the works a framed, cohesive feel. The artist isn’t afraid of a saturated palette and bold colour combinations, which gives the series expressiveness and inner tension.

A good idea: a “fiery motor” surrounded by darkness and by the threads of life, which is not always kind to it. All these interweavings, piercings and entwinings catch hold of you. The way the “threads” run out beyond the composition is very well done.

“The Universe” feels like ideas and thoughts carried onto paper to show the world once more how everything is interconnected and woven from different energies, oppositions and elements that seem to live apart but in fact cannot exist without one another. The work draws the eye with its variety of colour and light and its contrasting forms of line. The palette supports the contrast of the earthly and the heavenly. There’s a balance between detail and the legibility of the elements.

One senses a steady, mature artist who consistently develops her style and unique sensibility, embodying universal human experiences and states. The works look gallery-ready and in many ways reflect current trends: a strong academic base, confident technique and an accessible symbolism in which viewers can recognise themselves.
