In Valimberti’s paintings, she works to transform the mundane into something quietly beautiful through traditional oil painting. Drawing attention to the gaze, Valimberti alludes to the historical context of depicting the figure and subtly challenges conventional perspectives. Nuance and contemplation of the moment are captured, unpacked and re-assembled here. Her paintings emphasise ambiguity, inviting the viewers’ interpretation and imaginative faculty in the portrayal of the figure. Valimberti’s paintings convey a sense of introspection and sensitivity through the handling of light, tone, and texture. Elena Valimberti Brunswick East VIC The Green Chair oil on linen
