Valeria Pesce was born in Sardinia, Italy and moved to Barcelona, Spain in 1991 where she began her artistic career. Since then, painting has become an urgent need and a way to connect with her inner self. Fascinated by nature and the vital energy that animates living beings, Valeria loves to paint everything that pulses and moves —whether animal, plant, or aquatic. In her canvases, these three elements often converge, giving rise to worlds in constant evolution and continuous symbiosis, exploring and transcending the boundaries between dream and reality.
Water is the muse of her paintings. Water is movement, light, weightlessness. It is the domain of fish, but also other animals and people. In the water, the bottom becomes the sky and all creatures fly —a silent, unquiet world, where fish are as elusive as thoughts and clouds, and nothing remains as it is. Her style is both realistic and dreamlike, offering us a reality in perpetual motion and transformation.
She has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions across Europe, and her works are in many private collections worldwide
