Valentim's creative process concentrates on the specific function of the objects he works with, which, once transformed, are given a new functionality and meaning. His conceptual art has been exhibited in many cities including Lisbon, Porto, and Barcelona, as well as in international galleries and art biennales.

Valentin Quaresma will be showing his latest collection on Friday, 8 March 2013, during Lisbon Fashion Week AW 2013. Don't miss it!
