Valeria Pesce

I'm an Italian artist living in Barcelona (Spain), place where I started my career as a painter. Since I started, painting has become an urgent need. Fascinated mostly by pulsating life, water, but not only, also people and nature in general. Water as an element in eternal transformation. Fishes as elusive colored dots constantly moving in the water which occasionally becomes the sky and then all creatures fly. Colors are the vectors of my emotions.
Painting to me is a never ending process so that sometimes (quite often) I take old paintings and retouch them, add or change something or simply erase them and start a new one.
I use to work on different paintings and subjects at the same time, depending on the energy of the day.
I start with an idea but the result is often completely different from the initial concept, I try to flow with the new solution coming out from the canvas. The most difficult point is to decide whether a painting is finished or not, It is a wonderful feeling, having a small piece of me hanging in houses all over the world.
