Valentina was born in Genoa in 1982.
After 10 years working in corporate photography she felt the need to redefine her visual vocabulary and in 2020 she moved to Buenos Aires where she began a research focused on issues of gender, memory and identity.
Her long-term projects are inspired by poetry and literature, especially the magical realism that pervades Latin America, and approach psychoanalysis and explore social issues such as migration, family and patriarchy.
