V.F | VISUAL ARTIST
I'M VALERIA
For years, I worked in the hospitality industry in Rome and New York, in roles oriented to event organization, marketing and sales.
In 2003, I created the Vquadroitaly brand: unique, self-produced accessories for women and the home, without fashion and timeless.
In 2020, I enrolled at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples to deepen my artistic training, and a love story began that added a new chapter to my life path.
After obtaining the first-level degree in 2023, I am enrolled in the second-level Academic Diploma in Sculpture.
2024 Project Manager of Lap, Public Art Laboratory.
