Valentina Attolini.

Valentina Attolini is a visual artist from Mexico City whose practice explores the body as both a physical and emotional site of experience. Her work delves into the body’s complex relationship to the self and the world around it. Through a diverse range of media—including painting, drawing, and performance—Valentina engages with materiality and the act of perception as a charged emotional encounter. Often, her pieces provoke a deep, visceral response by drawing the viewer into spaces where desire, love, violence, beauty, and intimacy intertwine.

She completed her Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts at Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado "La Esmeralda” in Mexico City and complemented her studies at l’École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Paris-Cergy. 

Her work has been presented in solo exhibitions such as Sonámbulos: los párpados lloran (Espacio Unión, 2024), Es un lugar que no existe (RAM, 2023), and La obsesión del polvo por volverse aliento (T.A.C.O. 2022), as well as in various collective exhibitions in Mexico City. In 2024, she was a resident at Solos, a space dedicated to the research and creation of monotype printing. In 2019, she was awarded Young Creators by Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales (SACPC) in the sculpture category, and in 2024, she was selected again, this time in the painting category.
