Let's continue with day two of the interview with the artist Conny Valentina. We've already learnede she's from Australia an has a sexy style. Next up...Where did you go to school for your art?
In my bedroom.
How long have you been an artist?
If you count my crayola wheel, since I was 7.
Hmmm, slightly sexy, slightly gothic, a little ethereal with a touch of sensuality. I really respond to colour, so that drives my images.
What inspires some of your subject matter?
It almost always falls down to my mood. The darker I feel, the darker the imagery. And music tends to also drive a piece I am working on.
Any artists alive today who make you pay attention?
Michael Whelan, Rodney Matthews, Patrick Woodroffe, Brom, Sorayama and Brian Stelfreeze are the main players, but I am also addicted to the Spectrum annual that has some of the most amazing contemporary artists around.
Is there a decent art "scene" out your way - how would you describe it?
Not really. For the kind of art I do, I am totally in the wrong place. I am surrounded by landscapes, portraiture and abstract art....I need another city to adopt me! lol
What bugs you most about the art world these days?
Nowhere near enough women getting the recognition. Yes, I am bitter. There. lolol
More tomorrow! In the meantime you can connect with Conny Valentina on the web:
