Valentina Di Blasé

VALEVALE ART (aka Vale) currently lives in the beautiful town of Byron Bay but she grew up in Rome, Italy, surrounded by art and history with an architect mother and a musician father. Painting became her earliest form of expression and passion.
Attending a prestigious art school in Rome introduced her to diverse techniques and artists. In university, she delved into cinema and drama, shaping my visual perspective.

A transformative time abroad in Spain saw her selling her artworks on the streets, a joyous and successful experience.
Upon arriving in Australia in 2015, she started creating marker paintings on printed portraits, exploring vibrant colours and intricate shapes to capture diverse personalities.

In her search for the right technique and tools, she found acrylics to be perfect for achieving multiple effects simultaneously—brightness, saturation, metallic and fluorescent touches—all vital for her colourful vision.
Recently, she received Inner Self Guidance Cards and a book of Australian Birds, sparking a desire to blend these concepts. Acrylic colours perfectly balance brightness and saturation for this purpose. She aimed to fuse each word from the cards with a corresponding bird, making the bird an ambassador of that word.

To amplify the message, she uses “Glow in the dark” paint exclusively on the words, allowing them to shine in darkness, enveloping the audience in an inner self experience.

Few of her last artworks are now exposed in Byron Bay at Art & Wine creative space and at Heaps Korean. Dedicated to continuous growth and exploration of new artistic concepts and collaborations. Committed to using art as a means of self expression and engaging with the community.
