Valeria Pesce - VISTO NO VISTO

SEEN, NOT SEEN
An oval original work that depicts a swarm of multi-colored fish floating in a space whose texture reminds us of water. Painted in 2018 and retouched in 2026.
The fish I paint drift lightly with sinuous and elegant movements in a liquid, gravity-free sky. The fish as a universal archetypal element, as a link between diverse worlds, as an expression of the flow of life and emotions. Quick and fleeting as clouds and thoughts, they embody the delicate balance between serenity and vital impulse. The water that contains them, an amniotic space in constant movement.
I am interested in the boundary between the real world and the surreal world of my ever-transforming aquatic landscapes.

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

I have had 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 star themes are 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.
