CONVERSATION

These days I believe in a turning back, a sprouting. I believe in Us standing. I believe in the Seeds we hold in our hands. From our Hands to the earth, From the Earth to our people, And from the People to The hands Of our Daughters I continue to be inspired, to be filled with admiration and awed, by the abundance of feminine myths and tales that I have discovered about seeds, plants, and food, and by cultural and biological diversity itself. My paintings are not only a personal channel to express the intimate sense of nature that I deeply identify with, but also a bridge to communicate, transmit, and educate others about the message of traditional wisdom.

Maria Lopez (Mexico)
I love your paintings. I think that you have your own style, they do not remined me of other painers. I can see the Andean femenine spirit
Felicidades Valentina!

tuya arte es realmente bonita.pareces mucho a la de la Kahlo,pero tu tienes mas limpieza,mas ternura....

Ruby Pan (Singapore)
I love the imagery in your paintings, a sense of rootedness and connection with the earth that I don't have being a child of the city. They remind me of Frida Kahlo's paintings. Maybe I have to invent my own traditions...

Jessica Lagunas (United States)
Valentina, me encanta en especial tu pintura de la mujer con las trenzas para arriba. Me parece de una gran energia y esperanza. Que significa el titulo de "Mamalas"?
Tambien es bello tu retrato con la pintura detras... Me recuerda a Frida Kahlo :-)
