About the artist
Valentina Amidei
Valentina has been fascinated by design and art since childhood. The starting point of her research is the material, starting with the careful search and selection of fine leather, mostly recycled, and combining it with different metals. The different materials are then hand- painted according to her design and each stage of the transformation is carried out in accordance with EU CITES regulations. The whole design and production process takes place in her studio in Modena, her home town.
Valentina knows better than anyone how to combine materials such as copper, fabric, leather, enamel and paint to create true works of art that reflect design, art, craftsmanship and knowledge. Her Artbag series is called Animal Charm and is inspired by the beauty of nature's elements and reflects the imaginative use of materials.​​
