About Sandra Valentim:
Sandra Valentim's passion for the luminous dimensions of the human spirit and its
manifestations in motion, countenance and physicality pour through her oil and
acrylic explorations into portraits and scenes ranging from the playfully emotive to
abstractly ambient. Following in the tradition of Picasso, Valentim records her
rawest impressions of life in a language of colors and shapes of her own devising,
often flooding Cubist inspired slices of life with warm colors that echo her
affection for her subjects. At the same time she remains inquisitively reaching with
her angles and hue choices, rendering vividly contradictory feelings and suggestions
across the faces and personalities she delicately erects. Her deceptively flat
facial expressions tend to contrast strikingly with her lush Gauguinian palettes
that swarm around them.
Valentim lives and works in her native country of Brazil, where she has
autodidactically nurtured her approach to painting, siphoning the primary colors
around her and establishing a singularly identifying style.
