Valeria Montag is a Brazilian artist experienced in design,f ashion, architecture, and conceptual art. Montag completed her bachelors in Art Visual at FAAP, and, at the same time, at the Escola Pan-americana de Artes Plásticas. She worked in her own fashion company, Rouparia Montag,for 35 years in Sao Paulo, before moving to Miami, Florida where she is now based. Montag is currently completing a Master of Fine Art in Visual Art at Miami International Art and Design. Valéria Montag's process of artistic creation translates into a permanent investigation of materials. Her art manifests itself in various forms of expression.
She appropriates, decontextualizes, and subverts pre-existing objects and everyday realities in works of photography and sculpture which, in reference to Boltanski, construct a sort of “ideal childhood” for art as an extension of life.
