María Elisa Quiaro is a Venezuelan mixed media artist and collagist based in Germany.
Two things have always shaped her life: images and words. Her work combines encaustic, collage and assemblage. In every medium she uses, fragments are given a new function to recreate a totality.
Quiaro reflects a contemporary sense of life with all its metaphysical complexities and contradictions where the impossible is not anymore.
