He draws live in theatrical performances, and realizes performances with stage machines of various nature that builds and animates on stage. As an artist he has participated in personal and collective exhibitions, and passionately dedicates himself to the creation of artist’s books, combining his remarkable illustrative nature with the infinite expressive possibilities of engraving techniques.

He has exhibited in Rome, Milan, Bologna, Faenza, Venice, Paris, Luxembourg, Rothemburg. Some of his works are part of permanent exhibitions, such as the ceramic work "Rain" at the International Museum of ceramics in Faenza, the artist book "How many irreplaceable lives", exhibited at the national library of Luxembourg, and its printed version exhibited at the Casa della Memoria in Rome.

For interested people,
I am writing to offer the highest recommendation for Valeria Gasparrini who has held two engraving workshops for the Rome Center of Architecture and Culture at Woodbury University which I direct. He guided the students' works, taking them from the initial drawings to the creation of the definitive prints and their possible display in an exhibition. I find her one of the most creatively contagious and inspiring people with whom I have had the opportunity to collaborate.
Let me take the liberty of offering a few details regarding his remarkable abilities. To begin with, she is a very competent artist in her field. She is also generous in sharing her experience and does so with great enthusiasm.
In the initial phase of the projects he offers numerous approaches, both experimental and conventional, with the aim of giving birth to works of art that can then be created on slabs.
In the workshops we used zinc and copper plates, and the results were surprising. It featured field sketching exercises, complex mapping projects, and digital plate file translations. It has provided Woodbury with some of the most powerful and transformative learning experiences students have had in Rome; also in relation to what they do at home. Our students love her and she has been there for them every step of the way, teaching them techniques to achieve their creative goals.
It is a magical moment when the students complete the drawings, prepare the plates, ink them working in their studio. And then they print them. This would not have been possible for us without Valeria's expertise.
Thank you for the opportunity to offer a great recommendation for Valeria and I would be happy to discuss her merits further should you wish to contact me at my email: paulette.singey@gmail.c

Best regards
Paulette Singley
Woodbury University professor,
Director of the Rome Center for Architecture and Culture

The success of the first International Biennial of Engraving and Sculpture invites to repeat the initiative that has had such great resonance in the territory thanks to the quality of the works produced and the international dimension of the artists. The chosen theme is inspired by verse 72 of the second Canto dell’Inferno of Dante’s Commedia “Amor mi mosse…”, love understood in the dual meaning of personal love and love of charity that is availability towards the other, absolute value and motor of the whole. It is a heartfelt homage to the Divine Poet, whose seven hundred years have passed since his death, because his work is the greatest and most prophetic project of moral reform in society. A travelling companion and life teacher for countless generations, Dante offers profound ethical references from a past that relives in the present and is reflected in the future. In his writings there is the whole man with his dramatic and complex experience, with his greatness and his misery. Art is entrusted with the task of visualizing and concretizing thoughts, ideas, emotions that take shape in a universal language, beyond physical boundaries and ideological barriers. The participation of students in the activities foreseen in the project becomes an instrument of integral formation of the person because it refines the ability of analysis, develops the critical sense, accustoms to the multiplicity of points of view, induces reflection, promotes the logic of confrontation and openness. The school is a stage that never fails and within its walls everyone lays the foundations of their future, learning to confront their abilities and others. Students acquire awareness in which they are called to translate them into actions. Positive experiences ignite the curiositas, that is, the desire to deepen, and develop the “talent for thinking”, which is identified with that Aristotelian “wonder” that is the engine of growth, because it seeks and finds opportunities for discussion and deepening indispensable to become more aware, attentive and critical citizens.
