VALETRINSO

Valentina was born in Montevideo, Uruguay. At the age of eight her family immigrated to the United States and landed in sunny Daytona Beach, Florida. In 2019 she received her BFA in Ceramics from the Kansas City Art Institute with a certificate in Social Practice. Her work explores the nuances of growing up as an immigrant while balancing the influences that American and Uruguayan cultures had on her views of materialism, religion, pop culture, and politics.
