Different textures and surfaces is what fascinates Valeins. She brings her passion of graphics, texture and colour contrast to life by art influenced textile felting. Creating provocative artwork inspired by the emotional perception of life, she has transformed traditional felting to an emotionally powered vibrant contemporary art.
Drawn by wool is her signature.
For me art is at both personal and universal, its’ emotional impact as a language crosses cultural lines, social borders and that’s the way I wish to communicate and that’s more than words for me.
Artwork is my means of expressing feelings, thoughts, and passions. There is always place in my artworks for provocation and mixed feelings. I like to work with white and black, I gain inspiration from colour fiesta, but if I’m asked to explain my artwork colour to blind person it would be a ‘colour of pain’, the pain which follows us from birth to death and has more shades as our eyes allow us to see. I permit others to the contemporary through the emotional affair which surrounds my soul. I explore my hidden aspirations through analysis of my dreams. My subjective world is necessarily different from the real world.
I don’t know who stands behind my artworks – a little girl with thousands phobias or strong woman who overcome fears on her path to happiness.
