About the Artist
Argentine artist Claudia Valentino (Clau) was born in Mexico, she is the daughter of parents exiled by the dictatorships in South America. Valentino studied dance and photography for some years, and when she arrived in Minneapolis in 2009, added painting and mosaic to her creative skill set. Working with the community is one of the things she likes most about her profession.
Valentino was part of the Power of Vision: Mural en el Ave, a partnership between Hope Community and Mia that worked with Project for Pride in Living (PPL) and a cohort of 10 artists to create a 4,000-square-foot mural on Franklin Ave. The goal was to use art as a tool to build community, empathy, and compassion.
