No more evening “aperitivi”, seeing friends in bars or clubs, no more traveling or even walking around freely! All of a sudden everyone works from home, at least those who can do their jobs remotely and still didn’t lose their jobs! You can see just very few people on the streets, all wearing masks, avoiding each other at a safe distance, some silent weirdness echoes the empty streets… I cannot even walk my dog properly as all the parks have been shut down due to the people who didn’t respect the basic rules set by authorities. Miss you by Valentina Brosteanįor more than a month now we’re in the situation where basically only pharmacies and supermarkets are open, quite scary and surreal! It has been and still is quite a shock, life suddenly slowed down big time. I remember we went to the seaside that is quite close to Turin and basically that same day when we got back home the authorities gave official order to put the whole country on the lockdown and block basically everything, traffic, schools, workplaces, travels, any sort of movement or activities except for the basic ones.
One month ago no one was really aware of what was about to come and we all have been quite easygoing and relaxed regarding the distant “Chinese virus”. Nevertheless, I must say that situation in Turin is slightly more stable and acceptable in comparison with these most affected areas. I live in Turin, a city in the north of Italy, which is actually very close to Milan in Lombardia – the area that has been affected most severely since the pandemic outbreak, as we all know very well from the news. How is the situation where you are and how has it affected your life? Her widely recognizable style has established her as one of the emerging contemporary artists appreciated by selected international clients such as Armani Exchange, Washington Post, Corriere Della Sera, Bicycle USA amongst many others. Valentina has specialized in Editorial and Fashion illustration mostly using her well know playful collage technique.
Her bold, colorful style, often described as Pop Art meets Surreal Expressionism, is a striking lesson in the use of courageous, unexpected compositions and bold, bright colors that are perfectly describing her state of mind and wild temperament. Graduated from Faculty of Fine Arts Novi Sad, she holds a BFA degree in graphic design and an MFA degree in Illustration and Book design. Valentina Brostean is a multidisciplinary artist, originally from Novi Sad, currently based in beautiful sunny Italy.
