Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor and printmaker, internationally recognized in the field of graphic arts and engraving. He won numerous awards and participated in many exhibitions: 1st Biennale of Contemporary Italian Engraving in Venice in 1955; International Biennales of Ibiza and Listowel; 1984 International Biennale of Krakow; 1984 and 1989 International Biennale of Ljubljana; the 47th Venice Biennale; Rome Quadriennale of 1999. He created, on direct commission, large installations in Milan, Bologna, Reggio Emilia, Chiaravalle (Ancona), Pesaro, Siegburg (Germany), Connecticut and Aspen (USA). He was part of the group that in 2001 designed the Ca' Staccolo church in Urbino. An universe, Valentini’s, is poetic, rhythmic, musical, a geometric and evocative symbolism that leads toward a synthesis, almost metaphysical and surrealist, a relationship between sign, structure and visual matter that tends toward a new constructivism rich in suggestive elements to the point of appearing as “states of mind.” Since the 1970s he has deepened the link between painting and engraving, along with a deep commitment to the spatial aspect with temporal valences, time and space, interpreted and reinvented with mastery through lines, abrasions, cracked walls, architectures and magical, poetic geometries.
