THE ARTIST
Ennio
Valente is an accomplished musician, songwriter and composer who works in the healthcare field. His ability to
help patients deal with their difficulties has a profound influence on his artistic expression.
Many of the instruments used for
art were damaged or discarded. Ennio repaired the damage and brought a new dimension of "life" to the instrument
through artistic transformation.
The collection of stringed instruments
is a fusion of music and art through an intricate mixed media application of various colors, shapes and patterns. The
assemblage of each instrument's wooden structure and design is as uniquely beautiful as the art on the various guitars, mandolin,
violins, cellos, ukeleles, mandolas, banjos.
Although some of the instruments
can be played, they are presented as art to maintain the integrity of artistic representation.
