Oil pastel on smooth paper 300 gcm. 21x14,8Valeria Magini is an artist born in Rome in 1991.

Her artistic research focuses on drawing and the study of the human figure. "I started, as children often do, with markers and pencils; I then tried to understand the use of oil paint and experimented with acrylics. I changed many media from paper to cardboard, from canvas to wood, from cloth and recycled materials to plastic. I have researched and experimented a lot, even with a hint of impatience, probably due to my impatience to find my expressive balance. It was only recently that I discovered oil pastels and their capacity for layering and strength in vivid colours. So I made several attempts and finally found that with paper and smooth canvas they are a winning combination." (Valeria Magini)
