Tommy Carmelo Valenti is a portrait artist grounded in traditional craftsmanship techniques.

Based in New Jersey, he balances his artistic practice with his daytime career as a Chanel artisan. This role helps him maintain meticulous attention detail in all his work.

Every portrait Tommy creates is packed with luxurious detail, from the whimsical scenes he curates to the decisive strokes on the paper. He leverages gesture, texture, and human-centered storytelling to highlight the inexplicable, magical resonance of the human experience.

Outside of the art studio, Tommy can be found dancing salsa, crocheting, traveling to the US National Parks, or curled up watching murder mysteries.
