In 2024, his large-scale works have been displayed in several prestigious locations worldwide, including Venice, where his twelve Reina Mariana and a monumental Infanta Margarita were placed in Piazzetta San Marco. His sculptures also graced the City of Arts and Science in Valencia, the Botanical Garden in New York, the Orchard Road and Botanical Garden in Singapore, and the iconic Dubai, where they created a striking contrast with the modern skyline.\nIn Paris, Valdés’s monumental pieces have been showcased in Paris at Place Vendôme\nand Palais Royal, adding a new dimension to these historic landmarks. Additionally, the Château de Chambord featured his sculptures, offering a fascinating juxtaposition\nbetween the Renaissance architecture and contemporary artistic expression, while on\nBroadway Avenue in New York, Valdés’s works captured the attention of passersby.\nImpassioned by artists of the past ranging from Zurbarán to Velázquez, Matisse to\nLichtenstein, Valdés finds more than just inspiration in their paintings; he uses their work “as a pretext” to create an entirely new aesthetic object (a painting or sculpture that while clearly sourced from a known composition is a uniquely brilliant work of art in itself.","brand":"Skira Arte","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52683086102870,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/6644\/5398\/files\/MANOLO-VALDES-COP.webp?v=1771917025","url":"https:\/\/skira-arte.myshopify.com\/products\/manolo-valdes-monumentals-sculptures","provider":"Skira Arte","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
