In this body of work representing four New Zealand landscapes, the nature of time is juxtaposed with the spirit of recollection. Through these works, I seek to capture the essence of these visited landscapes, not merely as a visual representation, but as an emotional and spiritual experience, where time and memory intertwine to create fleeting impressions. The landscapes I paint converge with an inner world resulting in a representation slightly diluted in abstraction. I aspire to bridge the gap between the external and internal, creating a space for introspection, wonder, and appreciation. ~ Claudio Valenti, 2023
