Valentina Conchie aka Vibrant Cuckoo, is a Singapore-based mixed media artist, curator, and photographer whose work constructs vivid symbolic worlds where myth, identity, and human values converge. Trained in medicine and shaped by a life across multiple cultures, she channels her experiences into a distinctive recognisable artistic language, a vocabulary she built herself, composed of colour, symbols, objects, and portraits. Through this language, she explores the complexities of contemporary womanhood and the stories we carry within us, creating profoundly emotional manifestos that speak loudly, unapologetically, and with bold energy.

“For me, the ideal work would speak to the majority of people in a powerful, meaningful way, regardless of language and culture. There are very few topics that everyone cares about, but they are familiar to all of us and universally relatable. This is my ultimate goal—one that is not easily attainable, but I strive for it nonetheless.”
