"I like to think of art as an act of total generosity, a precious moment, a memory worth to be remembered, awed where the artist's emotions, will and expression mix themselves together, condensing in a work that has the privilege to be impressed in the tides of time. A real painter's fingerprint."

"Born in Verona, and attended Accademia dell'Arte di Verona, Valerio Camillo Iulio works using raw pigments.:

"My depictions revolve around landscapes, inanimate/animate beings, symbols: methaphors, anecdotes, illustrations of the natural.

When pictures are used to inspire the painting of the subject, I favor those shots taken during my journeys, although I have a preference to work from life or freehand.

Often to feel the maternity of the work at 100%, I build the stretcher frame by hand from scratch using local fir or oak wood, which will then have the task of receiving the canvas. Canvas which will be of raw linen and which will be subjected to an appropriate traditional treatment, with mixtures similar to those used by the Ancient Masters, to ensure that it is appropriate to receive the color, so as to avoid its deterioration.

A particular attention is given to tonality, harmony where colors mix up in a way to gain depth of field and naturalistic features. Subject reproduction is made after a direct examination of veiled and unveiled structural aspects that involve physical, emotions, reminiscence, through personal expression."
