Rose Mary Vallas

Contemporary professional painter, RMVallas has developed a body of work shaped by a rich artistic journey marked by several distinct periods.
Her practice has evolved through multiple explorations — from faceless realistic bodies to gestural abstraction, from pop art to kinetic research — eventually leading to a personal visual language focused on silence, gaze, and fragmentation.

Through contemporary figurative painting influenced by diverse approaches, she explores human identity in its most intimate and vulnerable forms.
Fragmented faces, multiplied gazes, and absent bodies create spaces of inner tension and emotional resonance.

Silence becomes a sensitive material, a space for contemplation where each fragment invites the viewer into a personal and introspective reading of the work.

I paint as a way of exploring an inner territory.
Through silence, gaze, and fragmentation, I seek to reveal what unfolds beyond words.
My work moves through different periods and visual languages, from the body to abstraction, in order to question identity and its transformations.

Self-taught artist, with one year of formal training at École Boulle, Paris.
