Val Valta

Valta is an artist based on the Dutch island of Ameland. He is a self-taught fine art painter who draws inspiration from the simplicity and beauty of everyday life, often focusing on the interplay of light in his work.
Valta’s artistic style pays tribute to the classical school and realist traditions, with a particular admiration for masters who excelled at capturing light.
His work is figurative and includes still lifes, interiors, landscapes, portraits and a notable focus on "stories told by hands." This emphasis adds a narrative quality to his art, where everyday objects or gestures might convey deeper meanings. As an autodidact, Valta has honed his skills through independent study, demonstrating a strong passion for traditional painting techniques.
