About
I’m a former art and creative director for luxury brands in Europe, now a full time visual artist.
After many years leading creative direction and brand storytelling for global campaigns, I’ve shifted my focus to painting and illustration, creating works that celebrate nature and consciousness.
I now divide my time between exhibitions and collaborating with brands and editors on bespoke artistic projects. Based in Geneva, I continue to bridge the worlds of art and design through meaningful creative partnerships.

Co-created with Emmanuelle Le Gall, Paradisio’s co-founder, the panoramic wallpaper draws inspiration from the lush tropical landscapes of Bahia, Brazil. Emmanuelle envisioned a serene bird sanctuary — a poetic scene that evokes tranquility, harmony, and the timeless beauty of nature. The piece reflects a shared desire to bring the exotic into contemporary interiors in a way that feels refined, pure, and extraordinary. With generous creative freedom, Valaeys infused the work with her signature sense of light, color, and organic movement, transforming it into a visual journey that bridges art and design while celebrating the spirit of tropical life. logo photo branding graphicdesigner webdesigner designer illustrator artist
