Welcome to the surreal and fantastic world of Meri Via
About the artist
My name is Meri and I am a traditional artist and illustrator, as well as an art therapist. Actually, I never knew what to say with my art until I started my formation as an art therapist. It was then, when I started a personal adventure into myself, and I began to draw and paint instinctively for myself. Then, art became a way to release tensions, and explore myself and my psychological world. Since then, I haven't been able to stop this path and I have kept creating. I love combining human figures with animals and nature, looking for a surrealistic and fantastic look to express my inner world. Nowadays I use mostly gouache, but a big portion of my past artwork has been done in pencil and graphite.
