Valentina Brostean

Valentina Brostean was born in Novi Sad, Serbia in 1983. After spending over a decade in Turin (Italy) she is now residing in Barcelona (Spain). Brostean holds a BFA in Graphic Design and an MFA in Illustration from the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University of Novi Sad. Brostean is a multi-disciplinary visual artist with over 15 years of experience in the creative world- working both with traditional and digital mediums.
Her bold, colourful style, often described as “new contemporary figuration” is specific for its use of courageous, unexpected compositions, a bold colour palette and unique, striking imagery. In her personal work, she has been strongly inspired by all the aspects of human nature – exploring subconscious, emotional states, dreams, real and the surreal. Brostean is a master at deconstructing the obvious reality in order to reconstruct it again. She has developed her own, very personal technique and style – the result of a perpetual journey, a constant search for identity and complexity of meanings.
Since 2006 she has exhibited her work in a variety of exhibitions, ranging from personal to group shows throughout Europe (Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain, and the UK) as well as in the Middle East and the United States.
