My name is Valentina Gonzalez and I am originally from a small village in the south of Spain. I graduated in Architecture from Valencia Polytechnic University and was awarded the prize for best academic record in Architecture. I moved to the UK in 2014 and joined an architectural firm in 2015. I have a strong drive towards the residential sector and my skills on spatial vision and sketching enables a thorough and creative approach from concept stage.
I started my art business in 2018 and I balance it with my role as an architect. I am self-taught artist and I make abstract compositions using acrylic paint and collage. My work is inspired by simplicity and focuses on composition and balance. Colour plays an important part with accents in saturated red, blue and yellow.
I have sold my work at Art Fairs such as The contemporary art fair in Windsor and Artweeks in Oxfordshire. I joined Nicholas Wilton Creative Visionary Program in 2019 and in 2022 I joined Lewis Noble to develop and explore other ways of making.
