About Valentina Abadia Henao

 
 
  • Biography
    Born in Cali, Colombia, my formative years were spent in the UK, Spain and France. My passion for art was fostered at an early age, ensuring I always had a medium for creative experimentation. 

    In 2005, I relocated to USA and studied Fine Arts at Penn State University. It was here that I developed a firm foundation in fine art and art history. While I was able to experiment with sculpture, printmaking, photography and mixed media, my passion always remained with painting and drawing. 

    Following this I have lived in New York, London, Paris and Barcelona, where I have been able to explore the wide variety of museums and galleries these cities have to offer.

    I currently live in Tuixent, a beautiful village in the Catalan Pyrenees, where I work as a Yoga teacher and continue painting.

    I am a realist painter, working primarily from photographic references. I love to paint landscapes, portraits. During the last years, I have been working on a series of paintings dedicated to animals that can be found in the area where I live. I want to show the power and beauty of these creatures. I have sold artworks to clients online and have signed onto Artfinder to be able to reach more people worldwide.
