Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
The artwork was inspired by the refugees arriving in the harbour of Algeciras, Spain in 2018. To create the painting Valentina collaborated with the Spanish documentary photographer Ignacio Marin, and interpreted one of his powerful photographs. The composition is characterized by a sense of stillness and introspection with the women’s face being the focal point of the painting. The interplay of light and shadows cast by the folds of the fabrics, highlight the contour and lines of her face adding depth and a realism to her portrait. Her eyes gaze into the distance, reflecting a mixture of weariness, determination and contemplation as she navigates the complexity of her experiences. The vivid red hues of the blankets draw attention to the urgency of their need for safety and compassion. Through its vibrant colors and powerful symbolism, this painting invites viewers to empathize with the immense challenges face by these brave individuals.
