Valentina Bruno

My technique is strictly connected with my origin. I was born in the South of Italy, in a Region called Salento, famous for an ancient papier-mache technique handed down from father to son. It was used predominantly for holy objects and statues.

This is my profane version.
Mixed media artworks composed of papier-mache, acrylic paint, spray paint on canvas. Honoring the beauty of handcrafting has led me to move from traditions and edit my compositions down to enigmatic feel, simple shapes, allowing for minimal distraction and maximum effect.
