Valeria Pesce - GOLDFISH CROWD

GOLDFISH CROWD
Minimalist oil painting on a wooden panel.
The fish are formed with few brushstrokes and the water is suggested by the color of the background. The red fish I paint float lightly with their sinuous and elegant movements in a gravity-defying liquid sky. The fish, as a universal archetypal element, as a link between diverse worlds, as an expression of the flow of life and of emotions. Fast and fleeting like clouds and thoughts, they sometimes lose concreteness and suggest abstraction, embodying the delicate balance between serenity and vital impulse.
I am interested in the boundary between the real world and the surreal world of my constantly transforming aquatic landscapes.

ABOUT ME
Born in Italy, on the island of Sardinia, in 1963, after a spell in New York to study graphic design and then in Milan, I moved to Barcelona in 1991 to work as a graphic designer, and here I began my artistic career which over time has become my profession, my passion and above all a vital necessity.

I have held solo and group exhibitions in several European cities and my works are in various private collections around the world.
My work is deeply rooted in nature and human emotions; my flagship theme is water and fish, two visual universes that share symbolic intensity. The fascination with the fluidity and dynamism of water acts as the through-line of my creations and symbolizes constant transformation.
