Valentina Grisales: poetic art on memory, emotionality and daily life in Colombia

Observing herself as she inhabits the world and leaving traces of that existence through drawing, color, and poetry is a fundamental part of her artistic creation process. Her work reflects on the close relationship between emotion and memory through graphic and literary analogies, inspired by elements found in her surroundings.

She uses writing as her primary creative practice and then translates it into gestural compositions and visual metaphors, using symbols and traces that tell intimate stories without revealing their circumstances. Her drawings often depict everyday patterns as a way of containing the complexity and beauty of living in this world.

Valentina lives and works in Manizales, Colombia.
