About the Artist

Valentina Oppezzo is a young Italian photographer now living in Cambridge (MA). After a training of a couple of years as a drawer, she has decided to work in the medium of the Fine Arts Photography. Her photographic work reflects both her previous experience as illustrator and her Master studies in Cinema.

She’s specialized, in fact, in creating tiny photographic “sets” using as subjects everyday objects (like her toys, or things bought at the supermarket, or food), that become the “protagonists” of indefinite, magical, ambiguous stories. Her still life pictures have been displayed in several groups and solo exhibitions in Italy, and recently at the ArtMarket Gallery of Downtown Boston, at the Exhibition area of the Harvard Medical School and during the 3DB event organized by the Duplessy Foundation.
