Born in the city of Cali in Colombia, Valentina’s formative years were spent in the UK, Spain and France. Her passion for art was fostered at an early age and during a summer in Florence, at the age of 16 years old, she first discovered oil painting.
In 2005, Valentina relocated to the United States and studied Fine Arts at Penn State
University. It was here that she developed a firm foundation in fine art and art history. While she was able to experiment with sculpture, printmaking, photography and mixed media, her passion always remained with painting and drawing.
Following this Valentina has lived in New York, London, Paris and Barcelona, where she has been able to explore the wide variety of museums and galleries these cities have to offer.
She currently lives in Tuixent, a beautiful village in the Catalan Pyrenees, where she teaches yoga, art and english classes, and continues to paint.
I offer watercolour workshops for adults, and Art & Nature workshops for kids.
