The Artwork of Giuliana Morandini (aka Vallyka)

The cultural education of Giuliana Morandini is pervaded by an interpretive code expressed by an infinite number of variants that range free on supports through a plurality of painting techniques with an aesthetic, lyrical, universal language.

Despite being a self-taught artist, she breathes life into a versatile, multifaceted artistic production, investigating multiple aspects of everyday life based on a refreshing message made dynamic by soft and sinuous brush strokes.

She has a profound painting style, without ever neglecting the modernity which searches the inner aspects of human beings, representing characters of great significance that attest to a maturity acquired by those who want to transmit the religious, political and social issues of the day, without smudging and uncertainties.

In essence, it's kind of new figurative art, focusing on precision and originality.

Giuliana Morandini manages to paint emotions and moods via images of a submerged universe that imposes itself like a symbolic message.

A reality where the very essence of the artist is captured: various efforts, current of evocative visions that are inspired by our everyday lives, shaping them into a conception of a world system in continuous evolution.

From this perspective we can readily identify her eclecticism in which her artistic expression has been transformed, in favour of a reasoned use of painting technique, where feelings and reason are indissoluble characteristics of all her artwork.

The artist, through personal and open language, pursues those that constitute the indispensable foundations of existence with a social commitment, endeavouring to re-awaken the consciences of those responsible for causing the dramatic events of our existence.

Precisely for this Giuliana Morandini shows us how important her communicative power is and her search for a fundamental optimism with a determined will to retrace her steps, leading her to explore her own ideals in a broad stylistic journey.

Her greatest quality lies in her ability to express her own emotional sensations via a continuous and persistent zest for life, while at the same time annihilating that same life to further generations and processes that are undergoing profound epochal implications.

Therefore, she is a witness of her own time, a time that has never ceased, but continues its course, unperturbed, with a representation that not only enhances the formal aspect but idealises, with precision, the aesthetic aspect which is consolidated via an expression, a feeling of standing before the natural input to be analysed at a later moment, in complete tranquillity.

The vivid and muffled colours are an invitation to the joy of life on the one hand and the shadows of suffering on the other.

Giuliana Morandini (aka Vallyka), through her testimony, guides us to the realisation of a peaceful corner that reassures the soul and helps us to grasp the harmony of creation with the awareness of an in-depth studying into the innermost aspects of our own personality.

A sort of pragmatic art that the author treats with her own brand of positivity, addressing the problem from a subjective point of view, fully aware of her intellectual ability above all, since it shows us just how important her communicative power actually is.

Endowed with inventiveness and sensitivity, she re-examines reality, giving it a great tactical and strategic sense, returning it to its proper dimensions.

Humanity now has the possibility to recognize its own identity, for this is the invitation that Giuliana Morandini offers to her audience, compelling them to participate in her amazing world, with compositions of great artistic value.
