Bio
Val Masferrer Oliveira is a Venice-based Brazilian-Portuguese multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, painting, and writing.
Before dedicating herself fully to art, she worked in marketing and advertising for 16 years in Brazil. In 2003 she moved to Europe, where she studied Interior Design at institutions including Inchbald School of Design (London) and IED Istituto Europeo di Design (Madrid). Photography, her lifelong passion, gradually became her professional path — a medium she uses to move 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 reflections. 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 in Bologna in 2013 with her Sculptures of Nature series.
Since 2016 she has also explored dreams as a source of imagery and meaning, researching perspectives from neuroscience, analytical psychology, and Tibetan Buddhism. Her work has been published in the USA, Italy, and Switzerland, and exhibited internationally in cities such as London, Bologna, New York, Hamburg, Madrid, Florence and Venice.
Her current practice continues to expand across mediums, where light, nature, and the dialogue between inner and outer worlds remain central.
