Valentino Marra - Blonde

Valentino Marra, a painter and sculptor from Salento (born in Martano, in the province of Lecce, in 1956), graduated as a Master of Art from the "Gioacchino Toma" State Institute and subsequently from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce. 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."
