Valentina Castillo is a graphic designer and embroiderer. She started to teach herself to embroider in 2015. At first, she embroidered her own animal illustrations, as these little critters had always been her main source of inspiration, and later began to take her use of embroidery as a form of expression further.
After the death of her dog, she decided to portray pets through embroidery to immortalize and honor their memory. Since then, she has made more than 100 embroidered portraits of dogs, cats, hedgehogs, you name it! Her specialties within embroidery are needle painting and silk shading.
She also gives embroidery workshops at Revesderecho to teach people their own way of understanding embroidery. In 2018, she collaborated on Makikoart's "I love my dog embroidery" book, where she embroidered more than 40 different breeds of dog.
