Valeria Vilar Buenos Aires, Argentina 1974 Originally an architect, Valeria Vilar has fully devoted her time to the visual arts, and practices a combination of painting, drawing, and collage. Vilar uses her mediums to delve into the imagination and collective psyche of children and adults alike, oftentimes igniting the sense of fairytales and other realms in her work. In 2013, Vilar worked with the artists Elisa Estrada and Florencia Lenzi to co-­‐found CasaPlaza – a visual arts school for children. Vilar also spends much of her time as a teacher at SUPERARTISTAS, a research and visual art workshop for children in Buenos Aires. The artist lives and works in Buenos Aires.
