About Artist:
Valeria Latorre is a visual artist based in the South of Italy.
Her research is on water, it is expressed through hyperrealistic paintings, photography and video making.
Her work aims to show water in ways it is not usually seen, using different media to express the hidden faces of water.
In the painting and photography work light and movement expose the shape of water revealed through image distortion.
In the video work dance and music express the physical features and rhythm of water.
Philosophy and science studies support the evolution of her research which is deeply influenced by Japanese Wabi Sabi aesthetics.

About Artwork:
Chalchiuhtlicue is an Aztec deity of water, rivers, seas, streams, storms, and baptism. Chalchiuhtlicue is associated with fertility and she is the patroness of childbirth....In the Aztec creation myth of the Five Suns, Chalchiuhtlicue presided over the Fourth Sun, or the fourth creation of the world. It is believed that Chalchiuhtlicue retaliated against Tlaloc's mistreatment of her by releasing 52 years of rain, causing a giant flood which caused the Fourth Sun to be destroyed. She built a bridge linking heaven and earth and those who were in Chalchiuhtlicue's good graces were allowed to traverse it, while others were turned into fish. Following the flood, the Fifth Sun, the world which we now occupy, developed.
