About this artwork

The work "is Art not a Crime?" portrays Al Capone with a spray can of paint, intent on erasing the word "not" from the phrase "Art is not a crime", superimposed on graffiti and street art tags. The artist creates a fascinating tension between legality and creativity: Capone, a notorious symbol of crime, here becomes almost an anti-artist who redefines the boundaries of art as an act of rebellion. The choice of street art as a backdrop amplifies the contrast, recalling the idea that art, like crime, can break the rules, but for expressive purposes.

Per lui, l'atto di creazione è un portale, che lo collega con l'inesplorato, oltre che una fuga. Le opere di Valia sono diverse sia per tema che per genere, i suoi suggestivi paesaggi urbani, i pezzi ispirati ai graffiti e i ritratti sono spesso creati utilizzando oli, acrilici e vernice spray su tela o legno.
