Biography
Valeria Boncoraglio was born in Alghero. Trained at the Chanel and Lancome School of Beauty she has worked overseas as beauty consultant and in Italy as a make-up artist. During her professional years she advanced her technique and deepened her knowledge in colours, light and shade of the face. This experience has allowed her to augment her skills in other areas portraying human expression. As a result the 'Wood Face' was born -where the moments of real life were interpreted onto the vigour of live wood. Valeria has loved to draw since she was a child and so made her passion her profession. The 'Wood Face' was born of her need to leave a lasting sign of her art. Her love for make-up and drawing comes out through the creation of her 'indelible make-up'. For an artist, wood is always a living material that comes to life when painted upon. Valeria wants to give an expression to her women with her art, and to the hundreds of women she has met.
