Walter Valentini (Pergola, October 22, 1928 – Milan, May 20, 2022) was an Italian painter, sculptor, and engraver, internationally recognized in the field of graphics and engraving. Many awards won and participations: 1st Biennale of Contemporary Italian Engraving in Venice in 1955; International Biennales of Ibiza and Listowel; International Biennale of Krakow in 1984; International Biennale of Ljubljana in 1984 and 1989; the “XLVII” Venice Biennale; Rome Quadrennial of 1999. He realized, 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 church of Ca’ Staccolo in Urbino. A universe, Valentini’s, 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 suggestions, so that it appears as “states of mind.” Since the 1970s he deepens the connection between painting and engraving together with a thorough determination of space with temporal valences, time and space, interpreted and reinvented with mastery through lines, abrasions, cracked walls, architectures and magical geometries, poetic.
