We invite you to have a look inside our virtual museum on the MIA Anywhere virtual museum website (www.miaanywhere.com) so you can experience, in virtual reality, our exhibition called ‘The exploration of the female existence. Part I’, where you can see for one week the work of Daniela Torrente from Brazil, (@dani.eorendjiantorrente), Lara Maltz from Argentina (@larashkasha) and Elizabeth Casasola from México (@eliiiicasasola). We would upload more about these artists in the upcoming days, so you can know more about their perspective, technique and point of view.

I make self-portraits, thinking about the impossibility of portraying another per- son who is not there and being the only possibility to approach a subject.

Lara Maltz (@larashkasha) She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and she is a Visual Artist and Director of Stop Motion Animation. Graduated from the Scenography career at the Metropolitan School of Dramatic Art (EMAD), in 2014, in Buenos Aires. Trained in workshops with different artists in disciplines such as engraving, drawing, painting and sculpture. She continues her studies graduating from the Master of Stop Motion Animation, at the Barcelona Film School (ECIB), in 2019. Currently lives and works in Barcelona, developing her art work and short films. • Lara develops her work in an eclectic way inspired by nature, the androgynous and amphibious. Guided by curiosity, she investigates various disciplines as ways to explore her own being, with art as a path of knowledge. Look for beauty in diversity and the imperfect, putting into play certain taboos of society. In her work we find characters of exaggerated aspects in theatrical climates, where the monstrous and beautiful coexist, awakening the mystery and estrangement. Her imaginary is expressed through drawing, engraving, painting, sculpture and also Stop Motion animation where all this world is set in motion.
