Lina Valentina

My name is Lina Valentina and I’m a contemporary pop artist. Most of my work represents freedom of expression I want to encourage people to speak up and express themselves however they want to. The teeth of the zipper in my zipper mouth pieces changes direction in the middle of the mouth, therefor the zipper would never zip, which displays expressing yourself, speaking up and not giving anyone the power to tell you otherwise. The Unbreakable collection ( diamond pieces ) represent strength and being able to go through challenges and difficult situations, but always coming out of them stronger than before. The first diamond I have painted was very challenging, which is why I chose that pattern to really push myself, which is what life is about, growing, learning, evolving

Self taught artist, however I have studied at FIT nyc, BMCC, SCSU and Paier College of Art
