"É recorrente no trabalho de Aleta Valente a atenção para o sexo , ora, se do sexo nascem filhos e filhas, assim também nascem seus trabalhos. Com humor, ironia e acidez, a artista nos trás uma visão crítica e absolutamente pontual dos tabus, crenças e regras que regem o lugar da mulher na sociedade brasileira. Muitas vezes ao espectador, é natural um certo incômodo, uma sensação dúbia, onde ela se coloca conscientemente como objeto, escancarando esse lugar social e todas as reverberações provenientes disso.

"O deboche de Aleta evidência sua inteligência, sua sutileza, e sua crítica cirúrgica. Mas, no caso de "Com amor", vemos tudo isso e mais um pouco. Nessa imagem, é impossível deixar de notar a beleza lúdica e inocente do amor. Ao mesmo tempo que atinge seu lugar crítico, esta também encontra um outro viés, talvez mais romântico, um lugar de abertura, de escolha, de doçura, uma oferenda, um presente que é dela e de mais ninguém, e está sendo oferecido a você, espectador, de forma singela, sensual e generosa." Pedro Roquette Pinto, 2022


It’s quite common in Aleta Valente’s work the attention to sex. Well, if sons and daughters are born from sex, the same happens with her work. With humor, irony and acidity, the artist bring us an absolutely critical and punctual view of the tabus, beliefs and rules that place the woman in the brazilian society. Often to the expectator, it’s natural a certain discomfort, a dubious feeling, where she puts herself consciously as an object, opening wide this social place and all of its consequences. Aleta’s debauchery evidence her intelligence, her sublety, and her surgical critic. However, in “Love, Aleta”, we sense all of this and a bit more. In this image, it’s impossible to ignore the playful and innocent beauty of love. At the same time it hits it’s critical spot, the image also finds other ways of expression, perhaps a more romantic and sweet one, a place of openness, of choice, of offering, a true gift that belongs to her and no one else, and that’s whats being offered to you, expectator, in a simple, sensual and generous way." Pedro Roquette Pinto, 2022
