About the Signature paintings ....

The anima and animus, in Carl Jung's school of analytical psychology, are the two primary anthropomorphic archetypes of the unconscious mind, as opposed to both the theriomorphic and inferior function of the shadow archetypes, as well as the abstract symbol sets that formulate the archetype of the Self. The anima and animus are described by Jung as elements of his theory of the collective unconscious, a domain of the unconscious that transcends the personal psyche. In the unconscious of a man, this archetype finds expression as a feminine inner personality: anima; equivalently, in the unconscious of a woman it is expressed as a masculine inner personality: animus.

The Shadow is a very common archetype that reflects deeper elements of our psyche, where 'latent dispositions' which are common to us all arise. It also reflects something that was once split from us in early management of the objects in our lives. It is, by its name, dark, shadowy, unknown and potentially troubling. It embodies chaos and wildness of character. The shadow thus tends not to obey rules, and in doing so may discover new lands or plunge things into chaos and battle. Shadow may appear in dreams, hallucinations and musings, often as something or someone who is bad, fearsome or despicable in some way. Encounters with it, as an aspect of the subconscious, may reveal deeper thoughts and fears.


Jungians warned that "every personification of the unconscious - the shadow, the anima, the animus, and the Self - has both a light and a dark aspect....the anima and animus have dual aspects: They can bring life-giving development and creativeness to the personality, or they can cause petrification and physical death"

Lecturesby Valerio 2016




Recently recovered still from the film 'Trip Noir' by Timo Franco Filmed at ' The Valerio Institute ...' was reused to produce this little poster for a 'lecture' at the local arts facility concerning the commercialization of academia and the potential outcome of limiting your portfolio to tradable items alone...... open discussion for debate concerning everything from he restructuring of the Student Grant for Loan progression !, the inordinate hikes in tuition fee's! , the comparison of qualities between the U.K and Europe for cost / quality of education! and the overall  long term impacts on academia as a whole   ....and much more   




Artby Valerio has effectively been running as a non profit organization for over two years and we need your support to be able to keep the momentum going , assist with our intended project to ignore brexit and open a small hub on mainland Europe by way of buying original Artwork, Commissioning a  Bespoke Design, or Booking a workshop/artclass/mini break, or of course just feel to donate as you see fit x

Many people I speak to assume that being an Artist is all very nice .... generally because great aunt murial paints and she is always going off on little artists retreats and whatnot! or its the stark opposite , people think that you have to live in squalor and be stark raving mad! truth is there are components of both in my existence x
