About me

My name is Valentina, I was born and raised in Milan, Italy. I am the mother of a wonderful young man and I am an artist, that is, I try to live through art, getting emotional and looking at the world from its most playful and bright side. What is my goal? To evolve as a soul, to bring joy and light, and to calm my shadows. I will guide you on this journey where I tell you who I am and what I have inside, which has always desperately needed to “come out” and be seen by the world. Have fun.

Milanese, with degrees in Painting and Architecture, she worked for years as an architect after a long career as an illustrator in the comic book publishing industry.
In 2011, she changed course and created a silver jewelry line, designing an alphabet/language inspired by some of her painted compositions.
Following her son’s diagnosis of dyslexia, and thanks to the initiative of a former high school teacher, she was entrusted with an innovative after-school program where she experimented with effective and unconventional teaching methods, applying her expertise in art and communication.
After meeting Professor Giacomo Stella, she earned a master’s degree as a Learning Specialist for Specific Learning Disorders and other Special Educational Needs at the University of San Marino.
In 2020, she co-founded D+ Decisamente Super Affascinante, an after-school program for students with learning disabilities based on art an creativity.
She continues to dream of becoming an artist who makes a living from her art.
