Daniela Vargas Winiker

She studied drawing and painting in the workshops of renowned Costa Rican artists. Her paintings express the refreshing nature of butterflies. It is about its fragility and its beauty that are in a continuous growth, like the human soul that flaps between a perishable body and a spiritual one. They are constantly reborn in their creations, carried by the air of the brushes that touch the painting, driven by the multicolored brushstrokes, raised by the different shades and undertaking the flight of the imagination. Daniela Vargas manages to sensitize with the life of those subtle winged characters.
Her works are on display in different private collections in Costa Rica, South Korea, Europe and the USA.
