Valentina is a fine artist, who specialises in doll paintings and conceptual mixed media art. She is influenced by children illustration, kawaii culture, philosophy of life and the Dubai ‘bubble’ she grew up in.
Valentina was born in Moscow, Russia; moved to Dubai, UAE in 1999 and studied BA Business in the University of Leicester, UK. Then, she founded and ran a creative lifestyle company in Dubai called Vissima; which included an online shop for unique home accessories, fashion and events. In 2017, she studied fine art in Moscow to pursue her absolute passion, and now, she couldn’t be happier to live out her dream. Valentina considers herself an equal mix of all these cultures and is currently based in Dubai. Since 2017, Valentina is also an art teacher for kids and adults. She taught at World Art Dubai, Sikka Fair, Bluewaters Music Festival, Aisha Alabbar Gallery and many art centers. Her goal as a teacher, is to inspire people to heighten their intuition by opening up to feel and absorb creative thoughts through their imagination. Valentina loves animals and nature, spirituality, fashion, product design, conceptual photography, ice skating and everything vintage. She believes that an optimistic outlook on all things in life and that anything is possible is the key to success. |
