Bio
Val Masferrer Oliveira is a Brazilian-Portuguese multidisciplinary artist based between London and Lisbon, working across photography, painting, and writing. Before committing fully to art, she spent sixteen years in marketing and advertising in Brazil. In 2003 she moved to Europe, studying Interior Design at institutions including the Inchbald School of Design in London and IED – Istituto Europeo di Design in Madrid. Photography, her lifelong passion, gradually became her professional path, enabling her to navigate between reality and imagination.
Her work has taken her across Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Eastern Europe, Australasia, and the Americas, documenting landscapes, cultures, and inner narratives. In 2010 she was invited to exhibit at a fine art gallery in New York City. She joined the Royal Photographic Society in 2011, began selling through Saatchi Online in 2012, and won the Public Choice Award at MIA Fair Bologna in 2013 with her Sculptures of Nature series.
Since 2016, Val has also explored dreams as a space of imagery and meaning, drawing from perspectives in neuroscience, analytical psychology, and Tibetan Buddhism. Her work has been published in the USA, Italy, and Switzerland and exhibited internationally in London, Bologna, New York, Hamburg, Madrid, Florence, and Venice.
Her current practice continues to expand across mediums, with light, nature, and the dialogue between inner and outer worlds remaining central to her artistic research.
