VALERO DOVAL
Beauty in Contrast
Valero's work is characterized by his tendency to embrace contrasting forces. Think: where truth meets fiction, fear meets joy, and science meets spirit. Through collage, illustration, and design, Valero combines natural elements, found imagery, and intricate handwork to create rich narratives reflecting those oppositional intersections.
Unexpected Details Speak Volumes
Headphones and cords woven into a project spanning 10 stories for Amazon's Manhattan office. Three-dimensional letter beads and daisy chains as a nod to summer camp. Colors that mirror a nearby mountain range. It's the little touches that add up to tell a bigger story behind the art.
Storytelling through art
Valero uses his art to explore the mysteries of life and understand the human condition. Each composition builds upon straightforward visuals — for example, flowers arranged to form a face or missiles skimming the angles of a downward gaze — to tell a story entirely dependent on the person viewing it.

Bridging Tradition and Innovation
Playing on yet another contrast, Valero's work integrates time-honored techniques with modern digital tools, resulting in a hybrid approach that fluidly marries the past and present. Valero is prolific, dabbling with collage, design, illustration, digital content, and sometimes even bringing in a dash of AI to create something that feels aligned with where the art world is going next.
