Artist Statement
Squares, lozenges and free shapes alternate on the surface of the canvas, painted with acrylic and the fluid painting technique. The splashes of color that break the uniformity of the color, and the mottled edges that delimit the various shapes are sometimes combined with pieces of textile collage.
The series is inspired by a paper game we built when we were children, called "origami soothsayer": folding and coloring a sheet of paper, and then opening the boxes and reading the sentences written inside them, we looked for answers to our little questions. Even as adults we continue to unfold the facades of our lives in search of what we really are, what we will become, what we should do, in a game that has now been enriched with experiences and memories.

Artist Profile
Born: 1966
Hometown: Verona
Based in: Verona
Cristina Dalla Valentina is an Italian painter born in Verona: she has been working in the artistic sector for over 15 years and specialized in contemporary abstracts on canvas using acrylic colors, inks and textile collages with techniques ranging from liquid painting to mixed media.
Her artistic practice focuses on the attempt to combine formal and geometric elements with more instinctive and organic features: colors play a role of primary importance in this because they underline this attempt and enhance it from an emotional point of view.
Continuous experimentation is the distinctive trait that has always guided Cristina: from her first workshop at the Academy of Fine Arts in Verona until today, the artist has never stopped growing and acquiring new skills, always remaining open to the opportunities that open up to her.
Cristina Dalla Valentina's paintings could be found in private collections in Europe (Italy, United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, Norway, Greece, Bulgaria), North and South America (United States, Canada, Brazil), Asia and Oceania (Japan , Australia).
