VALENTINA TURTUR

Valentina Turtur was born in Rome (Italy) in 1988, her background is really wide as she took Music and Dance classes while her studies in art were taking place.

 

She graduated in Architecture and Furnishing at the “Mario Mafai” Art High School and successively trained in Scenography (both for Theatre and Screen) at the Rome Academy of Fine Arts. Where she realised her big interest in how the Visual Arts relates and connects to a real physical space, which obstacles or possibilities exist within different physicalities and which ones can be explored.

​

In 2012 she moved to London to pursue her career as Designer where she started to cooperate with different Theatre, TV, Events and Films productions completing her working profile.

​

In 2016 she designed Treasure Island for Iris Theatre at the St' Paul's Church in Covent Garden, which has won the Offie Award 2017 as Best Production for Young People (8+).
