Born in 1987 in Paris, France
After studying History and Art History at
Paris-Sorbonne University, Guillaume Valenti enrolled at the Beaux-Arts de
Paris where he graduated with honours in 2015. His work was featured in several
exhibitions worldwide – in Paris, London, and Los Angeles – and he was in
residence at the Casa de Velázquez in Madrid. In 2012, he was awarded the
Diamond Prize. As a painter, his work revolves mostly around the concept of
mise en abyme, and his latest paintings take the exhibition space – museum
rooms, galleries, windows – as a subject. Choosing the perspectives,
meticulously organising the space, and playing with the often artificial lights
of the interiors he represents, the artist makes portraits of the locations he
paints.
