Rosaria Valenti

“I am a self-taught abstract artist based in Somerset. I paint from emotion, movement and everything around me that inspires me. Colour is at the heart of of my work,I use acrylics, oil sticks and mixed media to express what I feel inside. My paintings are about freedom, individuality and the emotions that shape our lives.”

Texture is an important part of my work. I build layers of acrylic, marks and oil sticks to create movement and depth. I love raw ,expressive surface that develops as I paint.
