MAXgallery

“UTOPIAN DREAMER,” a solo exhibition by Valerie Aleta Smith, will be on display at MAXgallery from November 2 to November 30, 2025! 🎉

The exhibition examines surrealist dream realms which blur reality and fantasy. Expect illogical scenes, strange juxtapositions, and unexpected transformations which are all drawn from the subconscious imagination. Viewers are challenged to question their reality with a peek into the artist’s dream fantasies. 🔮

Valerie incorporates her vivid dreams and journey as a female artist into colorful artworks that challenge societal norms. Whether on paper, canvas, wood, bottles or Vinyl LP record albums, she is very precise in conveying her messages. She hopes her viewers can interpret their own stories based on what they see through her artwork. 🪻
