María Valesca Merizalde, born in Caracas, Venezuela, delved into the arts at the Central University of Venezuela, focusing on cinematography. Her documentary work with Amazonian indigenous communities between 2015 and 2016 deeply influenced her artistic vision, highlighting the relationship between humans and nature. In 2017, a temporary visit to Austria, evolved into a significant life transition. By 2023, after 3 years of study, she earned a Diploma in Fine Art Photography and Multimedia Art from HTVLBA Ortweinschule with her project 'Impermanence'. This work, an insightful exploration of transience, was featured in two group exhibitions: "Diplomas 23" at Blindbergh Gallery and "Positionen Junger Fotografie" at Schaumbad - Freie Atelierhaus in Graz. Her photographs are contemplations of the dynamics between motion and tranquility and reflect on the ephemeral threads that weave the human experience.
Residing in Graz Merizalde continues her visual research, aiming to create visual meditations that inspire viewers to engage with the beauty and significance of the present moment.
