Valérie Girone defines herself as a “literarily trained” artist and “an artist by intuition and necessity.” A necessity because, for her, a society without creativity is a “dead society.” She therefore feels the need to contribute to the well-being of people through her artwork.
From her reports, this 40-year-old brunette says she has learned a lot about the mechanisms for human well-being.
Her emotions, her heartaches, and moments of happiness resurface in her paintings, giving them a very personal and human aspect.
Her artworks are full of symbolism, created by a woman convinced that “art heals wounds”; that is why she has chosen this method, collage.
Her medium is metal, a choice that is not trivial. In traditional Chinese medicine, metal symbolizes breath. For her, it represents the breath of life. This is the notion she wants to impart to her creations.
Valérie Girone is a philanthropic artist and lover of the Côte d’Azur, and it is all of this that her collages, full of color and life, exude.
