GAUDI' Painting

Valeria Ferrari's production is characterized by an uninterrupted experimental impulse that, accompanied on the one hand by her young age and on the other by a personality attentive to the different expressive possibilities offered by various means, leads her to create compositions ranging from painting to sculpture and installation, using languages that vary from figuration to abstraction. Born in Bari in 1988, she has a non-academic artistic education behind her, but first and foremost transmitted by her family environment. Daughter of two musicians, Valeria - in addition to attending courses in Cello at the Conservatory Niccolò Piccinni in Bari - was in fact initiated into the exploration of her creativity by her mother Anna Guerriero, dedicated to the practice of mosaic, as well as by attending workshops in ceramics and engraving. It is no coincidence that her very first production and early exhibition activity seem to move under the aegis of the mother figure, with whom from 2010 to 2013 she created a collection of jewellery and set up the first exhibitions. Soon, however, Valeria felt the need to continue with an independent artistic path, looking for new expressive approaches and so she dedicated herself to painting, not in the traditional sense of the genre, but experienced as a hybrid language: her painting is a material created with heterogeneous substances such as cement, oil, polyurethane foam, water colours, but also natural elements such as flowers, arranged on supports that vary from canvas to wooden doors that turn into plastic objects. As for many contemporary artists, her production seems to have absorbed the concept - handed down from the lesson of the twentieth century - of fusion of artistic styles. In this regard, Massimo Guastella expressed himself, on the occasion of the recent personal exhibition of the artist from Bari Save the beauty in Cisternino, observing how in her latest production she "takes on board the current trend of the new generation who cross, synthesize, cross, superimposing a bit all the languages of the last century". In the strong multi-material component of Valeria Ferrari's works, an important role is played by the conceptual aspect, mindful of her studies in Psychology: her works, in fact, are born from a meditated inner reflection, first outlined in the mind of the artist and then taken shape on different supports through the various materials. And, probably, from a psychological-conceptual point of view, one can glimpse the inspiration declared by the young artist for the works of Salvador Dalì and David Lynch, far from the formal aspect of her creations, but ideally close in their desire to describe the world of the subconscious.
