Born in 1996 in Milan, Italy.
Representative Gallery - Punto Sull'Arte Gallery, Varese (IT).
Valentina Diena’s work, which is mainly characterized by the technique of hyperrealism pencil on paper, contains the constant research of a mystical and also anthropological meaning in all those consumer goods that fill and decorate our everyday life. The artist searches and analyzes these objects as endless tiles of a single puzzle, the one of our collective memory but also of our contemporary identity, and then portray them through a thorough and detailed hyperrealism colored pencils on paper.
In her drawings, the fetishization of the consumer good bumps into the very denial of the industrial product, a slow and strenuous technical process and a strong conceptual charge. The ambivalences that are typical of her research (picture - drawing, main character - walk on, appearance - meaning) direct the gaze to an endless research, while the use of colored pencils recovers and keeps alive the bond with a creative child experience that is shared and familiar to each of us.
