Visual artist. Her artistic experiments build tension as they approach issues relating to the body and its surroundings, architecture and landscape, opening up new vistas in space-time orientation while never allowing themselves to be pinned down. Waléria Américo works predominantly with photographs or videos – often portraying performances – that are ultimately integrated into installations, as well as with objects, drawing and experiments in sound. She has exhibited solo at Centro Cultural Banco do Nordeste, Fortaleza (2008); and Galeria Laura Marsiaj, Rio de Janeiro (2012); and participated in Panorama da Arte Brasileira, at the São Paulo Museum of Modern Art (2007); the Bolsa Pampulha grant, Belo Horizonte (2005 e 2006); and Rumos Visuais, Itaú Cultural, São Paulo (2005 and 2006). Waléria won the Illy Sustain Art Brasil Prize from SP Arte, São Paulo (2013). She lives and works in Fortaleza.
