VALERIA MORASSO ARTIST
Valeria was born in Genoa in 1973 and since she was young she has cultivated a passion for drawing and art. As a teenager, she attended the atelier of a painter known in the Genoese area, where she learned the technique of charcoal drawing.
After graduating in Electronic Engineering in 1999, Valeria continued to cultivate her artistic passion, developing a style that, starting from a figurative base, evolved towards the abstract.
Her artistic production is mainly divided into two themes: works of naturalistic inspiration and works that explore the city and urban life. Valeria uses a variety of techniques, from oil to acrylic, with a particular attention to material effects, obtained thanks to the use of chalk and other innovative techniques.
Over the years he has participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy, including those curated by Loredana Trestin at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa, in Florence at the prestigious Bellini Museum and in Imperia at the Naval Museum. He has also taken part in significant events such as ArteGenova, exhibitions at the MAEC and the Galleria Arcadia in Milan, and held two solo exhibitions in 2024.
In 2025, he began a collaboration with the Uxvalgochez gallery in Barcelona, opening new horizons for his art also on an international level.
About my art
The color on Valeria Morasso's canvases follows the rules of emotion, not logic. Chromatic and material oases interrupt the flat calm of the support, at times homogeneous, at times lumpy, a clear indication of how the artist takes inspiration from life itself, with its smells and tactile elements. The seduction in this case is for the eye, which is satisfied by the skilful use of color and its arrangement, which may seem casual at first glance, but embodies the soul of Morasso in all its parts. The creative wave arises in her spontaneously, a primordial need to express through spatulas and brush all the creative force that breaks out intimately, a message full of energy. Although there are spaces between different techniques and styles, it is in the abstract that she finds complete realization, giving her the possibility of reproducing the explosion of forms in a free manner.
