Manuela Valenti,
is a self-taught contemporary artist,
model and entrepreneur from Venezuela
currently living in the US. One
of the most versatile and vibrant
contemporary artist in the world
today. Throughout her almost entire
life Valenti has been creating art
in various forms, from glass, to
painting and sculpting setting her
as one of the most prolific and
unconventional modern artists today.
Selling online since 1999, Valenti
has sold her original paintings
and glass sculptures to over 1500
collectors on each state in the
Continental US, Hawaii, Canada,
Venezuela, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina,
Spain, UK, Netherlands, Italy, France,
New Zealand, Australia, Sweden and
Japan among others.
Valenti works
in a variety of mediums, creating
the impression to the viewer that
there are more than one artist in
her studio, while the reality is
that she's the only creator of her
vast array of works. She's not afraid
to pick up a brush and let her hand,
memories and emotions flow.
"Many times
I'm asked by gallery owners, collectors
and other artists even at shows
how many artists there are in my
studio and they get surprised when
they hear this is just the work
of one artist, me, and more impressed
they get when they hear I have no
formal school training or that I
have never attended any art workshops."
Valenti has
exhibited on galleries and international
shows in New York, High Point, Atlanta,
Miami, Chicago, Michigan, Spain,
Italy and Venezuela. Because of
her vast array of works Valenti's
works are collected by people from
all walks of life, from the entrepreneur,
to the corporate manager all the
way to the house wife, architect,
art dealer and interior designer.
Due to the nature of her works she
shares two completely separate groups
of collectors, the ones that love
her abstract art and the ones that
love her landscapes and figurative
works.
