About

Valeria Gasparrini ( Rome, 1964), was formed thanks to a rich contribution of artistic and literary experiences: classical studies, research in the fields of ceramics, painting, fresco, engraved graphics, screen printing, and figure drawing. He specializes in illustration at the European Institute of Design in Rome. She works as an artist, freelance illustrator, and professor of illustration, anatomy, and drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts of L'Aquila, Quasar Institute, and the American University of Rome. As an artist, he has exhibited in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Faenza, Venice, Paris, Luxembourg, Belgrade, Rothemburg, and Passau; some of his works are part of permanent exhibitions. She has illustrated and edited for various publishing houses, and now devotes herself as a writer of texts and images to creating illustrated books for adults and art books. In her artistic research, she combines her illustrative nature with the tools that art offers, which seem more suited to the story she seeks to tell.

He has exhibited in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Faenza, Venice, Paris, Luxembourg, Rothemburg, Passau. 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

ALPHABETS REFLECTIONS is the title of the artistic project that combines Arabic calligraphy and Western writing. The work SE is made with four hands with the use of different techniques cal-cografiche, and investigates the conceptual couple ” Doubt as Reason”. The choice of 7 pairs of concepts on which the artists worked was the first step of a research work to show, but at the same time recompose, through an innovative game of “lettering”, the rifts between Islamic and Western culture.
In my interpretation every press is the result of several steps and elaborations in the printing phase; working with Usama Saad on the concept of “Doubt as Reason”, I decided to play on the double meaning that in Italian has the word “If”. IF as maybe, and IF as themselves; for me keeping the SE at bay – in all senses – is always an adventure.
I graphically constructed the word SE in its repetitions and with the choice of multiple matrix printing I did not set limits to the printing variables. I chose not to choose in the series of possibilities offered by colors and their overlaps and to give space to all the expressive hypotheses that attracted me and convinced me.The work therefore consists of several works forming a Suite, with different tonal modulations of the same subject, and is not unique, but happily multiple and interchangeable.
A selection of the works -assembled as suites- was exhibited in the exhibition “Alphabets Reflections” art and writing otre the borders, which was held from October to January 20121 at the museums of Villa Torlonia, dependence of the Casina delle Civette, in Rome; under the patronage of the Capitoline Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.

PRESS RELEASE
In the Dependence of the Casina delle Civette the exhibition “ALPHABETS REFLECTIONS art and writing beyond borders”, 26 works, born from the collaboration of artists from different countries, testify to the research of a common language on the art of engraving. From 20 October 2021 to 16 January 2022, promoted by Roma Culture, Capitoline Superintendent of Cultural Heritage, under the patronage of the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, Institutum Romanum Finlandiae, Cultural Institute of Iran – art and culture of Persia and Polish Institute of Rome, will take place in the Dependence of the Casina delle Civette, Museums of Villa Torlonia, the exhibition ALPHABETS REFLECTIONS art  and writing beyond borders, which presents a choral work on the theme of writing where the culture and visions of artists from different countries could compare and find a common language in the experimentation of the art of engraving. Museum services of Zètema Progetto Cultura.
The 26 works made with four hands all contain a double creative identity. The Arabic calligraphy, created by Usama Saad, Italian-Egyptian artist, has been used as a fifth symbol that welcomes the marked individuality with which artists from Bangladesh, Canada, China, Finland, Iran, Italy, Poland, Tunisia and USA intervened with their own techniques, styles and different alphabets. The initiative testifies how an artistic community – which welcomes different worlds and a collaborative artistic practice – can contribute to overcoming the fear of confrontation with something stylistically and humanly different, and thus create a vision of making creative communication open to dialogue and able to read contemporaneity.The exhibition, organized by the Cultural Association Stamperia Ripa 69, curated by Ursula Bonetti and Usama Saad, will be accompanied by a series of educational activities dedicated to the different techniques of engraving, including workshops for children and adults.
