Patrice Valota

Print on silk paper by the artist Patrice Valota, medium wax. Valota is a french artist with Italian origin. Since 1992 his works has been shown in solo group exhibitions as well as Art Fairs in Paris, London, Barcelona and Istanbul. He plays with wax, a supple and extremely malleable material which he works like a real virtuoso.Wax offers all its delicacy and transparency to the touch of his blowtorch. From my private collection, a gift from the artist, signed and dated 1994.
