BIOGRAPHY

Valentino Giampaoli was born in Loreto, Italy in 1969.

He graduated from the Institute of Arts in Ancona in the Art of Metals and Jewelry.

In 1993 he graduated in Sculpture at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Macerata.

In 1988, he exhibited for the first time, while still a student, with a solo exhibition at the Institute of

Arts in Ancona, thus beginning his artistic career.

In 1999 he won a national competition for the monument to the Fallen of the Italian Resistance

Movement in Naples. The monument was opened in 2005.

He received various private and public commissions for the execution of modeled figures, portraits

and sculptures.

He has taken part to numerous exhibitions and competitions, obtaining several successes.

He is also a Scultpure teacher at the Institute of Arts in Ancona.

My work is an aesthetic research in which geometry and perspective take shape 
through a contrast of elements that create a dynamic shaped, in which the light 
gains the upper hand.
I like to think of my art as a search, as an input and lastly as a visual 
proposal. I create forms through the use of symbolism and archetypes, to let it 
become an instrument of abstraction, food for thoughts and an immediate meeting 
point between the subject and the object. 
Through observationit is possible to give shape to reality and turn it into a 
game where everyone can express the child within.
