About Maria Arias
Maria Arias is a Venezuelan-French artist living in Houten, where she has found a deep sense of home in this open and welcoming environment.
In 2007, she read about a heartbreaking exhibition in which a starving dog was used as "art." That moment changed her life forever. She launched several campaigns to help stray animals in Venezuela and organized sterilization programs from the Netherlands. However, after witnessing immense cruelty, she decided to contribute to animal welfare in a different way.
