The art gallery in Val Gardena offers paintings and sculptures from modern to contemporary art.
Val Gardena, a valley with a long artistic tradition. To be born here doesn’t only mean to be surrounded by a fantastic Dolomite landscape but also to be part of a specific cultural tradition. Since the 17th century the artistic ability in woodcarving attained a worldwide recognition. From this tradition many innovative contemporaneous artists developed. The artistic environment gave the art lovers and art collectors Valentine and Egon Stuflesser the stimulus, to found the Vijion Art Gallery in 2010.
It doesn’t seem curious, that Valentine and Egon grew up in masterly workshops. Already in infancy they could live out their phantasy using utensils they came upon with, like colours, chisels and wood. Through the attendance of the local Art High School the gallerists Valentine and Egon acquired important knowledge about art history and the view of art. After both attained the master craftsmen’s diploma, the aim to live with and for art was marked.
Surrounded by the intensive art producing of the valley, Valentine and Egon developed the desire to present and market the local artistic abilities. An important stimulus for this was for sure the commercialization of the artworks by Valentine’s father. The artist Josef Kostner numbers to the vanguard South Tyrolean artists of his time.
