Ghosts win New York Art Festival

Monte Carlo, Monaco – WEBWIRE – Saturday, September 06, 2014 -Do you believe in Ghosts?  Photographic artist Valentina Eade is pondering the subject after one of her “Ghosts” won the 2014 International Art Festival.  Her work, along with the other winners, including sculptures, paintings, photography and mixed media, will be exhibited in New York’s Highline Loft Gallery from October 8 through October 11, 2014.  “Ghosts” is a collection of ethereal feminine images designed to invoke mystery and speculation to those who are tempted to uncover their origin.

About Valentina Eade
Influenced by some of the greatest photographers of her time, such as Helmut Newton and Mario Testino, Valentina Eade is a portraitist and fine art photographer, and a graduate of the Spéos Institute of Photography in Paris (2011).  Art is nothing new to Valentina.  Growing up in the Far East of Russia, from the age of 9 through 14, she studied art and earned a diploma in Painting, Drawing, Composition and Art History from the Children’s Art School, before going on to a higher education in Philology at the Amur State University, where she graduated in 2009.  Since 2008, Valentina has traveled Europe, Central and North America, Asia and North Africa, broadening her sphere as a photographic artist.
Even though Valentina is a portraitist and a fine art photographer, she finds beauty and art in nature and is compelled to captivate that on camera.   That is what motivated her for the most recent project to date – Bee Cause I Care, an environmental project which opens on Monaco’s rocher on September 11, 2014, and emphasizes and educates the public as to the number one threat to our world environment today – the disappearance of the bees.
