For Maria Elisa Quiaro, literally speaking, life is a collage. The mixed media artist, who was born in Venezuela, comes from a family where many cultural roots converge. She has lived in the USA and the UK and currently lives in Germany. After graduating in graphic design, she studied journalism and later art in the United Kingdom. Besides collage, Maria Elisa also expresses herself with assemblages, ceramics and painting. Since 2015 collage has had a very important place in her life, her work has been featured in books and magazines in Australia, USA, Spain, Italy and England, where she has also exhibited.
