ABOUT ME
Hi, Iâm Valerie.
Born in 1994 in Germany, now rooted in the wild south-west Algarve, Iâm an artist without a fixed form. I move between black-and-white naturalistic oil portraits and loud, vibrant works - from stillness to chaos, realism to intuition.
People joke that I paint by my menstrual cycle - and honestly, theyâre not wrong. My process is deeply connected to rhythm, body, emotion, and whatever wants to come through. I work in every medium that calls me, from traditional oils to experimental mixed media and texture-rich surfaces. Lately, I've been working on a beginner-friendly course that will help you master the charcoal basics and capture the uniqueness of your lovely pet.Â
