He moved to Amsterdam in 1941, where he was taught by Willy Broers, the founder of the group "Vrij Beelden".

He populates his spatial world with suns, planets and female figures. Work by Herman van Valen is represented in national and municipal collections and by various private collectors in the Netherlands, America, Canada and Japan. From 1962 onwards, Herman van Valen regularly exhibited his etchings and paintings. First in his own gallery Orpheus, later also in various other galleries and exhibition spaces.
