VALENTINA TORBOLI RAPETTI

Valentina Torboli Rapetti was born in Riva del Garda in 1985.

Her artistic path began early, with formal studies in photography, graphic design and cinematography, and reached its peak with a degree with honours in Painting from the Academy of Fine Arts in Verona in 2015.

Over the years, she collaborated with critics and curators, directed an art gallery in Malcesine, and was selected in 2012 as a representative of the Academy of Fine Arts in Verona for the National Prize of Arts, exhibiting at the Pinacoteca Albertina in Turin.

In 2020, she made a decisive choice: to leave the digital world behind and return to her true passions — watercolour painting and calcographic printmaking.

She deepened her mastery of dry-point engraving on Plexiglas and studied watercolour under Maestro Luigi Meregalli and with international masters.

Since 2021, she runs Tiny Creativity Shop in Malcesine, where she creates original artworks, portraits and arty memories — all handmade on paper, all made with care.
