ROSSMARY VALVERDE

 

Born in Lima, Peru in 1969, Rossmary Valverde found her passion for painting at a young age from her father, who is also a talented artist. A true naïve artist, Rossmary creates visual connections deeply rooted in ancient traditions and influenced by the Peruvian art of almost 2000 years ago. Valverde’s paintings utilize intricate design, solid color fields and sophisticated spatial structures similar to pre-Columbian textiles.

Vibrant colors evoke those found in ancient feathered ceremonial clothing. The juxtaposition of radiant colors appears to generate movement and wave-like energy within her compositions. Joyful musical celebrations and village life are often the focus of her narrative. Valverde’s unique aerial perspective takes the viewer on a journey; sweeping over villages and leading upward to the rarefied, crystalline atmosphere of the high Andes and down into the Amazon River jungles. The total effect of these elements offers the viewer a sense of a floating world nestled in the great expanse of the Andean skies.

“My culture is full of seductive colors. My art reflects a deep love for the culture of Peru, my country. Painting for me is a celebration of the spirit, as well as an exploration of the human experience. Expressing myself through painting has always been an enjoyment, depicting my personal emotions, memories, and the colors of my own universe.” - Rossmary Valverde
