ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Farewell is a colored pencils on paper drawing of a pair of Dr Martens boots tied and hang at the wall. The artist chose this subject as a symbol and iconic brand of youth, freedom, rebellion and “street life”; in this meaning, “hanging up the boots” becomes a farewell, the representation of that gloomy and nostalgic step from “golden era” to adulthood. A further inspiration for the artist in the making of the artwork was Hans Christian Andersen’s fairytale “The red shoes”, where the red shoes are once again a symbol of youth and cheerful shallowness, the object of desire to which we have to say goodbye in order to grow up and become adults.

Born in 1996 in Milan, Italy. Representative Gallery - Punto Sull'Arte Gallery, Varese (IT). Valentina Diena’s work, which is mainly characterized by the technique of hyperrealism pencil on paper, contains the constant research of a mystical and also anthropological meaning in all those consumer goods that fill and decorate our everyday life. The artist searches and analyzes these objects as endless tiles of a single puzzle, the one of our collective memory but also of our contemporary identity, and then portray them through a thorough and detailed hyperrealism colored pencils on paper. In her drawings, the fetishization of the consumer good bumps into the very denial of the industrial product, a slow and strenuous technical process and a strong conceptual charge. The ambivalences that are typical of her research (picture - drawing, main character - walk on, appearance - meaning) direct the gaze to an endless research, while the use of colored pencils recovers and keeps alive the bond with a creative child experience that is shared and familiar to each of us.
