Valerie Estienne

Valerie Estienne grew up with a strong love of the arts but worked in the business sector for several years before pursuing her passion professionally.

Having lived and travelled in several different countries around the world, Valerie draws on her personal experiences and the cultures she has immersed herself in for her subject matter.

As well as her travels, Valerie’s work is also inspired by nature and the urban landscape and explores the relationship between traditional methods and digital technology. Originally working with mediums such as oil and watercolour, it was the discovery of the iPad Pro that truly ignited Valerie’s passion, transforming her practice.

The transition into this digital medium has allowed her work to become more fluid and experimental; it is an ever-evolving investigation into how colour changes the effect and impact of a piece and the mood it purveys.

This interest in colour as opposed to form, and how it influences our perceptions of the subject matter, is the main preoccupation of Valerie’s work.
