Valentina Oliverio is an artist and illustrator based in Malta, whose creative journey has been defined by a lifelong exploration of visual art. From an early age, she has embraced various artistic forms, ranging from traditional painting and sculpture to the dynamic world of moving images.
Graduating from UCA Canterbury in 2020 was a pivotal moment for Valentina, where she embraced experimentation with diverse mediums, particularly those that pushed her boundaries. This exploration of stepping outside of her comfort zone has shaped her artistic voice, allowing her to push boundaries and discover new avenues of expression.
Her work draws inspiration from the natural world, places and personal experiences, illustrating themes of love, growth, and spirituality through vibrant colours and unconventional materials. Whether she is painting on sand, applying resin to maché, scratching photographs for film, or creating unique jewelry, each project reflects her eclectic interests and the infinite possibilities of art.
Her portfolio invites viewers to embark on a vibrant journey through imaginative worlds, exploring themes of spirituality and experiencing life through a playful lens. In addition to her personal projects, Valentina embraces collaboration, offering custom artwork, business design, book illustration, and animation services.
