What I do
Valerio Russo, born in Turin in 1992, is an Italian architect, artist and designer.
He obtained his Bachelor Degree and Master Degree in architecture from the Politecnico di Torino.
​
Using oil, acrylic painting and pastels on any kind of support, his artistic pursuit revolves around exploring the experience of humans in relation to nature and space, casting a critical eye on social, political and cultural issues.
His keen interest centers on the innate connection between humans and the surrounding environment.
