VALERIA PATRITTI

STATEMENT

I was raised in the melting pot of New York City. A city where a conglomerate of cultures and rhythms allows artists to flourish and express their artistry with limitless possibilities. My paintings are the lens through which I view the world, a vantage point of my life experiences. I am the colors on my palette and my brush is my instrument. I believe in the importance of curiosity as it allows for the evolution of one’s artistry.
