Valentin is an emerging artist born in Moscow in 1998. He grew up in various countries, including Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, which brings cultural diversity to his creative practice. His approach to art is conceptual and interdisciplinary, addressing the viewer from a personal perspective. After returning to Kyrgyzstan in 2022, Valentin began work on House 41, a landmark project in his artistic career. The project helped him make sense of his experience of displacement and new identity, existing as an outsider in a world oppressed by the Soviet Union, the remnants of which he grew up in. Valentin has a background in photography, and his works reflect his personal experiences and explore philosophical themes such as memory, temporality and death. He currently lives and works in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
