About

Valeria Gasparrini ( Rome, 1964), was formed thanks to a rich contribution of artistic and literary experiences: classical studies, research in ceramics, painting, fresco, engraving, drawing from life; attended the three-year course of illustration at the IED, and was trained in the graphic engraved at the Stamperia del Tevere , in Rome. Today she works as an artist, as an advertising illustrator and freelance editorial, as a teacher of drawing, visual and illustration at Quasar Design University, the Academy of Fine Arts of L'Aquila ABAQ, the American University in Rome AUR. He draws live in theatrical performances, and realizes performances with stage machines of various nature that builds and animates on stage. As an artist he has participated in personal and collective exhibitions, and passionately dedicates himself to the creation of artist’s books, combining his remarkable illustrative nature with the infinite expressive possibilities of engraving techniques.

He has exhibited in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Faenza, Venice, Paris, Luxembourg, Rothemburg. Some of his works are part of permanent exhibitions, such as the ceramic work "Rain" at the International Museum of ceramics in Faenza, the artist book "How many irreplaceable lives", exhibited at the national library of Luxembourg, and its printed version exhibited at the Casa della Memoria in Rome.

For interested people,
I am writing to offer the highest recommendation for Valeria Gasparrini who has held two engraving workshops for the Rome Center of Architecture and Culture at Woodbury University which I direct. He guided the students' works, taking them from the initial drawings to the creation of the definitive prints and their possible display in an exhibition. I find her one of the most creatively contagious and inspiring people with whom I have had the opportunity to collaborate.
Let me take the liberty of offering a few details regarding his remarkable abilities. To begin with, she is a very competent artist in her field. She is also generous in sharing her experience and does so with great enthusiasm.
In the initial phase of the projects he offers numerous approaches, both experimental and conventional, with the aim of giving birth to works of art that can then be created on slabs.
In the workshops we used zinc and copper plates, and the results were surprising. It featured field sketching exercises, complex mapping projects, and digital plate file translations. It has provided Woodbury with some of the most powerful and transformative learning experiences students have had in Rome; also in relation to what they do at home. Our students love her and she has been there for them every step of the way, teaching them techniques to achieve their creative goals.
It is a magical moment when the students complete the drawings, prepare the plates, ink them working in their studio. And then they print them. This would not have been possible for us without Valeria's expertise.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer a great recommendation for Valeria and I would be happy to discuss her merits further should you wish to contact me at my email: paulette.singey@gmail.c
Best regards
Paulette Singley
Woodbury University professor,
Director of the Rome Center for Architecture and Culture

The work is a postcard made by hand, assembling various etchings to collage; on the back was written address, sender and message, as in traditional postcards… the work in fact after being exposed was delivered to the recipient, that you have appreciated very much 🙂

Mostre o spettacoli in cui l'opera è stata esposta

Once upon a time there was a postcard, or perhaps there is still one.

April 2021 at LA_LINEA ARTE CONTEMPORANEA Associazione culturale (Rome)

Once upon a time there was the postcard or perhaps still there is the title of the collective and the call launched by the contemporary line art a couple of months ago.
On display in the space of the association, from 20 April to 20 May, there will be almost fifty postcards of the artists who have joined the project from all over Italy. Postcard whose term derives from the Latin charta, is nothing more than a cut of paper more or less thick and more or less rectangular in shape that if stamped is used for correspondence, to send a message. In this beginning of the century and millennium in which the digital message is king, a written message assumes, paradoxically, a new value. The artist was invited to reflect not only on the image to be created (an objective landscape or the soul, an object typical of a reality
geographical, a face, an animal), but also to think of a message to be written by hand for a specific recipient: whether it is a friend, a lost address, a house where he lived, an institution to which to deliver his thoughts. A method of sending a thought into disuse that in this period of social distance and increased use of social networks can be more enlightening, more alive. Definitely
a pleasant surprise to those who receive it. Living in the digital age where everything is super fast does not mean not recovering the idea of stopping, reflecting, expressing themselves and waiting for a message to arrive, or not.
The postcards on display, of various sizes, were handmade with different graphic techniques. The artists have already released their works, which on the back include the indication of the recipient and its personal message. Ready to be posted in mailboxes, after the exhibition period will be
sent by the Association The line to the address chosen by the artist.
