Maria Laura Ribeiro

  Maria Laura Ribeiro (b.1975 São Paulo - Brazil)

Maria Laura Ribeiro is a Brazilian-born mixed media artist based in south Florida.

 As a daughter of an artist, she grew up with constant exposure to the creative process in her mother's studio. It was this early exposure  that awakened Maria Laura to the arts and inspired her to master the techniques she now uses in her work.

Her work brings portraits of iconic figures to life through a complex process that involves a fusion of techniques such as painting, collage, crystals and gems application. She focuses her subject matter on pop culture and fashion with the intention of keeping the historical relevance of those icons. Ribeiro’s work has been exhibited at Boca Raton Museum of Art, as well as in art galleries and international Art Fairs, such as Scope Art Show, Art Palm Beach and Art Wynwood. Her works are part of private collections such as of the fashion icon Iris Apfel.
