Valentina Campagni

I'm interested in people, i like their stories, their thoughts, dreams, fears ... And I'm fascinated by what they wanted to be and to have and what they didn't obtain. I like to investigate in reality as much as in the subconscious but especially I love imagination: I'm sure that if you imagine something or someone for a long time, you make this "real" in some way. I immagine people and i would like them to exist, so I choose their features, aspirations, destiny. My works are not simple portraits: when I'm going to "tell a story" about somebody's life, whether real or imaginary, I want everything - past, present and future - to be seen in the same moment, as if it were a "mystical snapshot". That reminds me the oriental thought, that says time is an illusion.
