Hi.
Who am I? The nobody.
But my given name is Valentina; a bedouin soul; a revolutionary with a cause. Born in
Colombia, I've lived in Panama, Dubai, Kuala Lumpur, and currently find myself in Montréal.
My work concerns both inner and outer revolutions. I explore these themes through portraits, as these allow me to explore more deeply the interconnection between the individual and the collective.
My most recent work spans over 30 oil paintings and is a tribute to ‘Black History’.
This series began in February 2021 and is on-going; the intention is to educate myself
and others on the role played by African Americans in the history of the 'United Snakes Of America', connecting the threads of past struggles to our struggles today; so that we may learn from the lessons of the past and take our destinies into our own hands!
