About

El Arte de vivir is an independent publication launched in June 2024
by Valentina Alvarez.

I’m a visual artist born in Caracas, Venezuela. During my childhood, I had the opportunity to explore many different and beautiful places. Along these travels, I found a particular way to incorporate these raw pieces of beauty into my art.
 
My work highlights strength and beauty, motifs linked to the diversity and identity of human beings, through my photography and designs. I search for the organic expression of bodies in my subjects throughout movements from the ancestral call, the contemporary, and symbolic world.
 
I am currently living in Portugal and able to travel for work.
