Maria Carballo comes from a family with artistic inclinations; she studied at the Mariana School (Colombia) where she took classes in painting, crafts, music, and performance. In 1998, she moved to Miami, Florida and has spent a lifetime following her dream, always in search of new horizons. Carballo studied theater and music at Miami Dade College and, in 2001 began working as a visual artist. Having discovered the “what and why” of her art, Carballo explores contemporary art, surrealism and abstraction. Moving between realism and surrealism, her vision is transformed to reflect different emotions through vibrant colors and textures.
Carballo says her motto is to be transparent, to strip the soul, to drop the mask. In her work, she always includes a woman’s shoe as a representation of women: of their sensuality, sweetness, tenderness, and love as a source of light, passion, understanding, happiness and stability. Her work always leads her to define a subject, and the shoe takes the representation of a person, animal or thing. Learn more about the artist at her website https://www.mcarballoart.com/
