PRESCRIPTION FOR MODERN LIFE
The painter Valentina Brostean explains her work as a sort of “prescription for modern life.” I could not have put it better myself- her work is a fantastical interpretation of today’s social whims, but among the creatures and other universes lies an eerie sense of order. A medicine cabinet full of horrors, maybe, depending on how you see the line between real and unreal. Ultimately, past the metaphor and narrative and saturated imagery, it’s Valentina’s personal dive into the deep that defines her work, exploring a place that remains open to a select few individuals if only they choose to enter it.
