about
In a world where adulthood often overshadows the magic of imagination, Valerie Masalevich extends an invitation to step into her whimsical realm. Her artistic journey, recently rekindled amidst the vibrant tapestry of the UAE, celebrates the embrace of one's inner child, regardless of age.
Valerie paints using acrylics and mixed media, infusing each canvas with elements from her imaginative worlds. These vivid and captivating realms are crafted from locally sourced, recycled fabrics, adding depth and texture to her creations.
Inspired by childhood cartoons, pop culture, and the enchanting beauty of nature, her work echoes the nostalgia of cherished memories. Influenced by contemporary visionaries such as Hilma Af Klint and Gabriela Noelle Gonzales, she weaves a narrative that speaks of escapism, comfort, and the resilience of the human spirit.
Her journey commenced amidst the vibrant creativity of London, where she studied at the University of the Arts. Those formative years nurtured a profound appreciation for artistic expression. Her inaugural exhibition signifies a transition from a decade-long career as a marketing manager to an independent artist. Through playful yet profound symbolism, Valerie channels the essence of 'staying weird,' embracing individuality, and fearlessly capturing the magic that surrounds us.
