Today we’d like to introduce you to Koty Valenzuela.
Koty, we’d love to hear your story and how you got to where you are today both personally and professionally.
For all we know, the cycle of living nature is unpredictable. I believe that every second a person has for living is to be spent with no regrets, fun, and positivity. My name is Koty Valenzuela, I come from a poor family and never had all the riches of parks and recreations, or the wonders of Disney, but that didn’t keep me from enjoying my life. The way I kept myself going was by being kind-hearted and seeing the positive in everything, I had dreams I wanted to come true, and I just had to keep myself busy working from a young age, starting from babysitting to selling bracelets I saved up for my nearest future. Now I stand as a public figure to people for my fitness commitment and self-esteem. I love to provide a smile and motivation to society, that’s all I wanted to ever do, and now that I’m seen as a genuine person, if tomorrow was my last, I’d say I would be happy as to where I finished.
We’d love to hear more about your work. What do you do and why and what do you hope others will take away from your work?
I’m a fitness motivator/ part-time model just looking to be a motivation to others. I have a mission to look better to feel better mentally and physically. I understand people aren’t as happy with their body image, so I locate myself as motivation to keep striving for what YOU want. Your wants are the most important things to consider; there’s a reason why you want it, so do it. I’m not here to be another fitness image and be a hardcore trainer, I’m here to help people believe in themselves and commit to hard work, I’m here to set an example that I started from the bottom, and I succeeded and so can they. All you need is a bit of time and self-motivation.
Do current events, local or global, affect your work and what you are focused on?
I believe that depending whatever way an artist is going, some can be affected and some are still on a path. What does concern me most is how an image can be overseen as something else due to other events etc. Not everyone is in for the money or to become famous, others simply just want to help out for those who don’t have anything.
Do you have any events or exhibitions coming up? Where would one go to see more of your work? How can people support you and your artwork?
My work is mainly off of Instagram @tattoo.princesss, I’m in the process of creating videos on YouTube to provide easy, fun, and entertaining videos in regards to fitness, modeling, etc
