He has exhibited his works in prestigious solo and group shows in various Italian and foreign cities since 1980. His Madonnas dominate the altars of some of the most prestigious private chapels in his homeland. He executed the altarpieces of the Church of the Angels in Lecce (2009). His works are present at the most important national and international contemporary art fairs, and his faces and paintings dedicated to Marilyn Monroe are now in numerous private collections and the most prestigious galleries. After his long experience as a sculptor and altarpiece painter, other images, in fact, press under the skin of his painting, pushing the artist to probe contemporary popular iconography, in search of a female figure capable of interpreting an epochal change and a reflection on the meaning and truth of life. The master's art echoes a reminiscence of ancient painting, that of a certain 'way' of working with brushes and paint. His painting speaks of both past and future, with a highly personal technique he calls 'four-dimensional'. His works attract and amaze us with their strong emotional impact, which, through his realistic yet imaginative figures, engages our subconscious and draws us into his world of light and color [...] A contemporary art, therefore, that speaks to the future, that investigates existence and humanity, interacting with it through the power of color, which, with its chromatic interpretation, constructs emotional visions that touch the heart. A magical yet thoughtful and thoughtful sign, a strong and evocative visual impact, which evokes aesthetic and moral values,\" emphasizes curator Tiziano Giurin. \"Valentino Marra represents the lives of the characters he depicts, capturing their intimacy, and managing to express the theatricality of their emotions through a single image.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giallongo Giuseppe (12000)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56210589221250,"sku":"GGIA001","price":8400.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/b1bfe5938b68d7c1f784b7068c21d529.jpg?v=1768391417"},{"product_id":"valentino-marra-2","title":"Valentino Marra - Blonde","description":"","brand":"Panagini Gianluigi (30000)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56210611700098,"sku":"GPAN002","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20170504-WA0049.jpg?v=1768391658"},{"product_id":"valentino-marra","title":"Valentino Marra - Priceless","description":"","brand":"Panagini Gianluigi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56210611765634,"sku":"GPAN00","price":20000.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/IMG-20170504-WA0048.jpg?v=1768391659"},{"product_id":"valentino-marra-papa-francesco","title":"Valentino Marra - Pope Francis","description":"","brand":"Hrast Giovanna 3750€","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56211299893634,"sku":"GHRA003","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/P_20170926_182621.jpg?v=1768398827"},{"product_id":"valentino-marra-life","title":"Valentino Marra - Life","description":"\u003cp\u003e In some ways, the work can be considered a Pop aesthetic, with its use of contemporary icons and mass culture.

The traditional iconography of Jesus on the cross has countless variations, from the simplest, featuring only the crucified Christ, to the version accompanied by the \"mourners,\" the Madonna and Saint John the Evangelist. In the Middle Ages, Crucifixion scenes began to become increasingly elaborate: thieves' crosses were added, and gradually more and more figures were added, until they became the subject of large choral scenes. It is often accompanied by symbolic elements, such as the presence of the sun and moon or Adam's skull beneath Christ's cross (which signifies the redemptive action of Christ's Passion in the face of original sin).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eEven when he temporarily abandons his explorations of pop icons to focus on other subjects, Valentino Marra's style remains distinctive. He begins with the image, enhancing its plastic qualities, highlighting its volume in an almost sculptural material. From here, the artist's colorful universe unfolds. The figure emits vibrations that translate into flowing colors that permeate the entire surface of the work. In this hand-retouched graphic, however, Marra leans toward a more traditional approach to the religious subject. The Crucifixion scene, in fact, is rendered with a very classical and traditional figurative language, in which the artist also stands out for his excellent naturalistic rendering.

The two figures, clearly recognizable in the artist's perfect portraits, of Bergoglio and Ratzinger, are united in an imaginary embrace, suggesting a continuity of purpose between the two papacies in the work of evangelization. The scene takes on a markedly symbolic and spiritual dimension, elevated from reality to be transfigured into a timeless and spaceless dimension.

Pop Art emerged in the United States in the second half of the 20th century as a result of artists' interest in and critique of the contemporary \"consumer society.\" All expressions of Pop Art presuppose a sort of double bond with the world of consumerism and mass media. In some ways, Valentino Marra's artistic production can be considered a Pop aesthetic, with its use of contemporary icons and famous faces from film and entertainment.

But this artist's reflection on the massified icon departs significantly from the conceptual principles of Pop Art. Marra isn't interested in a critique of consumerism, or the value of art in the age of mass-produced techniques. For Marra, the pop icon has a purely aesthetic value. And it is in this direction that the painter's artistic language pushes.
