Let's Explore, Create & Move Together
I am Valentina, an artist and art therapist. My work emerges from the meeting point between expressive arts, somatic movement, and the exploration of the body as a creative realm.
Alma en Movimiento was born from a desire to create spaces where people can reconnect with themselves through movement, imagination, and embodied exploration.
It is a creative movement practice that invites us to move beyond the rational mind and enter into dialogue with the body, emotions, and intuition.
Through music, imagery, physical exploration, and sensory invitations, participants are guided into a journey of listening to their bodies, awakening sensitivity, and discovering new ways of expression.
The movement unfolds through waves of energy, stillness, play, curiosity, and contemplation. Each person receives the experience in their own way, transforming sensations and images into their own unique movement language.
I offer visual references, imaginative landscapes, and movement explorations that open doors into personal expression. Through this process, the body becomes a compass — allowing emotions to be experienced from a different perspective and creating space for release, connection, and authentic expression.
My practice is inspired by expressive arts, Butoh, Animal Flow, physical theatre, and intuitive movement practices. I explore these influences through my own perspective, creating a living and evolving approach to the relationship between body, creativity, and awareness.
Alma en Movimiento found its first home in São Miguel, Azores — growing into a practice that brings together movement, creativity, and embodied exploration through shared experiences and gatherings.
I am open to collaborations, retreats, residencies, and creative encounters. If this resonates with your space or community, I would love to connect, explore, and move together.
