_Valentina_

Mythological forest creature, shape-shifter, Muse. Hair like the roots of Ancient Trees, I need woods and mossy grounds to thrive. That said, I do pretty good in a studio too. I love stories, plants, reptiles, good food, jazz, Tom Waits and old books (the ones made out of paper, do you remember?). I’m here to inspire and be inspired.

~Sometimes I wonder if she transforms people into animals, or whether she finds the beast inside us, and frees it.~ . Today I did something I never did before: I gave an injection to my mum. I never liked needles, I'm one of those that faints at every blood test, but I'm on a mission to overcome my fears, and my dear mother let me try on her 🙈 It was nothing major, no veins involved, but still, I had never stuck a needle into a human before. And my most precious human! 😱 Anyway, it all went well, she's fine, I didn't hurt her too much and I didn't faint half way. And I learned something new!! What did you learn today? Or what are you going to learn today? 😊 . 📸 Captured by the one and only @igorkostin74 in my beloved Norway in April 🌿 . . . #blackpearl #valentina #irishmodel #italianmodel #fineartphotography #fairy #wild #naturallight #bodyinthelandscape #fineartmodel #skin #freelancemodel #dreads #hairporn #vikinghair #norwegianphotographer #norwegianlandscape #forestcreature #natureismychurch #vegan #woodnymph #earthcreature #mossyrock #overcomingfears #brave #vancouvermodel #empoweredwoman #doonenewthingeveryday #modelling #modelphotography (at Agdenes kommune) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2TZvfyC9vR/?igshid=ozu4dydx9g1x

~Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free until they find someone just as wild to run with them.~ . I miss Norway. And Sweden. And Iceland. And Scotland. And Ireland.

Hajdå Sweden ❤️ This pixie salutes you and is off to new adventures. I can't quite describe how much I've felt at home here. Like at the end of a long journey, you nurtured me, let me rest and slowly brought me back to life. Thank you @martin_gavelin for looking after me, putting up with my bad moods, dragging me out when I needed it, showing me your places, telling me your stories, cooking me dinner, making me laugh every day and sharing your home with me without ever complaining ❤️ I loved every minute and I'm grateful from the bottom of my heart ❤️ We shall meet again soon 😉 ➡️ Next stop: SWITZERLAND 🌿 . 📸 @pebblezink_collective . . . #blackpearl #valentina #dreadsfeature #welovedreadlocks #wild #fairy #fineartmodel #skin #freelancemodel #fineartphotography #modelphotography #modelling #modelslife #traveldiary #bodypaint #australianphotographers #dutchphotographer #amsterdam #swedishphotographer #grateful #pr0ject_soul #naturaldreadlocks #muse #emotionalportrait #sombresociety #hydrangea (at Amsterdam, the Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1qsdUwiSE3/?igshid=159oxv85no17m

~A prayer for the dying trees.~ And the dying animals and people of the Amazon Rainforest. A prayer for the dying human race. How blindly we stand eating our steaks while we face extinction. While the lungs of the only habitable planet in the solar system are burning because of deforestation, we watch in horror, but we couldn't give up our meat or dairies, oh no. We'll see how we'll do when there's no planet left for our children to grow in. Stop saying you can't do anything to stop this, we are all connected, and every action counts: go vegan, don't buy products containing palm oil, donate to associations that work hard to protect our environment. We can all make a difference ❤️🌿 Captured by the amazing @pebblezink_collective . . . #blackpearl #valentina #dreadsfeature #wild #fairy #fineartmodel #skin #freelancemodel #irishmodel #italianmodel #fineartphotography #hairporn #welovedreadlocks #amazonianforest #amazonrainforest #takeaction #savetheamazon #vegan #environmentalist #bodypaint #australianphotographers #pr0ject_uno #pr0ject_soul #humanedge #thevisualvogue #earthcreature #prayforamazonia #dutchphotographer #ukmodel (at Amsterdam, the Netherlands) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1izuNOCGwn/?igshid=174xmuslqw5h6

I think one of the hardest things we have to do in this life is learn to let someone/something go. To understand when something isn't for us and release the clutch, despite our desires, or instict or our needs and pain. It's probably one of the most painful things I've ever had to do, and I see now that it's something we all have to do again and again. Release, let go, move on. Flow like a river and don't cling on to anything. 📸 @doesyourmotherknowblog ❤️ . . . #blackpearl #valentina #traveldiary #travelwisdom #wild #fairy #fineartphotography #modelphotography #modelling #modelslife #freelancemodel #skin #naturallight #ukmodel #figurativeart #irishmodel #italianmodel #ribs #portugal #portuguesephotographer #naturaldreadlocks #muse #emotionalportrait #sombresociety #pr0ject_soul #portraitsociety #censored (at Casa Valvida) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1JtkfFiTEY/?igshid=2rty8n4lceqs

Sorry I haven't been very active lately, I'm just back from a weekend in a magical place in Sweden with amazing people 🖤 I finally got to try a sauna by the river and skinny dip in the cold water after by the moonlight 😍 Shooting stars, lots of music and beautiful people 🖤 I think this is what life is about. Grateful to Pacha Mama for its beauty, to other humans and to myself.

~Home~ When @fas.foto posted this picture the other day, I immediately got an overwhelming feeling of homesickness. There's nothing quite like hugging Irish mossy rocks on a Spring day. If you close your eyes and listen carefully, you will hear your heartbeat, your breathing, the bees and Nature's vibration all at once.
