About this artwork
While I was painting this wave/splash, I could see in my mind similar images from my past. The strongest image was the water raising up above my eyes, slowly, in an unstoppable dynamic. The next memory associated with that is of me on the beach next to my brother who hurt himself while he was saving me from drowning. He stepped on a nail which was inside of a wood piece. During the progress of the artwork the memory became more vivid and I could…

« I create what I need to see and dream about. I find peace and joy in exploring the organic patterns and movement resulting from the interaction of light and water. »
Valeria Latorre is an award-winning painter and photographer based in Italy whose works have been exhibited nationally, as well as in England and Japan. Her artistic practice is inspired by the visual perception of water, which is supported by scientific and philosophical studies, as well as Taoism and Wabi-Sabi aesthetics. Latorre's distinctive hyper-realistic style is translated through acrylics and oils on metal, canvas, or wood.
