“Inspire and Empower”
Artist Stories: Valentina Alexeevna
"...art enables us to see and beyond this reality..."
have now left teaching to focus and
give more time to her creative ideas
and art. She exhibited her work
across the UAE, including Maker Fair
and World Art Dubai exhibitions as
a solo artist. This was an impeccable
achievement and a milestone
to the blooming career of the Dubai
Doll. Yayoi Kusama and Jeff Koons
are her inspirations for their art, persistence
and success.
She experiences immense happiness
and pride in the fact that she
had been asked to exhibit and run
almost all the art workshops at
World Art Dubai in 2019. She further
says, "This was definitely a major
achievement, considering I am a
self-taught artist." She also shares
her experience working with WAD,
"In the previous years, the wonderful
WAD team has always worked with
large art centres and many different
artists, while last year they chose
a single art teacher. It was a wonderful
experience for me and a big
responsibility to deliver excellent
workshops!" This reflects on the
huge potential and talent Valentina
possess as an artist and a teacher.
Her dedication and hard work have
gifted her a chain of memories and
achievements to celebrate along
with new work relationships and
one-of-a-kind experiences.
She believes, art enables us to see
and beyond this reality, it opens creativity,
intuition and feelings. These
are very important for any career
path hence art plays a crucial role
in a student's life. Enabling them
with the liberty of exploring what is
boundless will teach them lessons
of decision making and creativity
at the same time. Exploring ideas
yet to be explored is an accomplishment
you should encourage children
to aim.
"Artists should make it a priority to
learn everything about the art world
and how it works. Speaking with
artists and curators is the best, to
gain this understanding." This is a
very thoughtful message Valentina
wants to share with other artists.
We encourage and highly appreciate
such actions where artists come
forward to stand along with the
other fellow community members
to share their experiences, views
and knowledge through "Inspire and
Empower", a series By the Artists,
For the Artists in association with
ARTOZE Gallery and Exhibitions.
