Welcome
I'm Val. I'm an Hispanic artist who operates out of New Jersey and who has had more than 10 years of personal experience in art and more than 4 years of formal training in college.
I currently study as an undergraduate at Montclair State University. My artistic practice is centered on strong thematic content. I consider art a form of communication where aesthetics serve the message rather than dominate it. I work with motifs that blend childlike innocence with religious symbolism.
I work in physical media and would love to have the chance to show my work in galleries, residencies, and fellowships.
There is strong thematic content to my work as an artist. I believe in art as communication and having aesthetics to support the message and not to suffocate it. This mindset underlies intent and emotion in all of my work.
