Her work covers the entire creative process, from choosing materials to the assembly, using collage, recycled materials and alternative processes.

NENI is one of the names with which Valérie Catalá Pilato collaborates with other artists and presents multidisciplinary projects as ME MY MINE, photo and painting installation and VENUS DECAPITADA ( VENUS DECAPITATED ) where photo and video art are confused.

 

Impressionistic photographer, the creation of atmospheres and the amalgamation of ideas are the fil rouge of her artistic discourse.

Recurrent subjects are the body and self-portraits, textures and lights created by the bodies underwater or reflected in a mirror. The mirror, fetish object, by the light which creates and removes, by the flou atmospheres.

She is currently working in her first photographic book with cinematic inspiration, LATEX. PUT ME IN, SUDDENLY and in her latests projects : TIES THAT BIND. FIXING YOU and SI TU ME DEJAS ( IF YOU LET ME ).

 

Abandonment, the projection of oneself into the beloved, the rupture.. are the issues discussed in SI TU ME DEJAS project. Where we find the series : HEART IN A BOX and MOI APRES TOI. CONTRE TOI ( ME AFTER YOU.  AGAINST YOU ). Existential dilemmas always evoked through the body.

 

However brighter is her latest project, TIES THAT BIND. FIXING YOU, where we find the series : INTO YOU. SLOW NIGHT, SO LONG and THIS IS HOW WE DO IT. Where portrays with great sensuality her object of desire, her lover and partner, the also photographer and visual artist, DENISROMAIN.

 

 

 " I reflect on relationships, as we let our dreams in the hands of the beloved as if we were not complete without our object of desire. My photos speak of sadness caused by this inability."
  

" I am a plastic photographer, I intervene always in my pictures (with collages, film, mixed media, graffiti ..) I always work with single copies. I often use in printing and assembling raw materials (aluminum, titanium, steel. .), seeking the physical side, cold, strong and bright colors that provide.. "

 

" I'm looking at the viewer's desire to touch my works. "
