Some people are born artists, and so is artist Vallerie. From a tender age of 5 she has been anointing and her caricatures of people drew praises all around. Drawing before learning to speak properly indicated that she was an artist in waiting.
Vallerie did a one year Foundation course in arts, from the prestigious JJ School of Arts.
The journey of her Solo Shows took her across Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Gurgaon and Nairobi, that started way back in 1997 and continued with the last one in 2023 in Hyderabad.
Simultaneously she participated in over 15 group shows from 1998 till date in Gurgaon, Hyderabad, Pune, New Delhi, Mumbai, Gurugram and Chandigar.
It was the artist’s fascination with the female form that led her to work with figurative form; while there is no fixed form it’s the personal experiences, nature, urban themes environmental issues reflect in her work through her self-experimented style.
Between 1998 and 2008, the artist worked with acrylics, creating paintings in relief. The textured base had fine detailing. Bright colours were layered with black paint, then massaged with a wet rag creating an antique finish.
In 2008, a near-fatal accident was life altering. A neck injury compelled her to embrace oil on canvas since then, she painted hundreds of artworks, each led by her heart on a vibrant journey of self and soul as explained by the artist.
