Salua Ares
Born in São Paulo, Brazil, and recently based in Miami, Salua Ares has been developing her artistic practice through hybrid approaches that move between photography, video, installation, text, and object. Her work focuses on what fades as much as on what is revealed within the dynamics of the contemporary world, exploring frictions between past and present, memory and invention, the visible and the latent.
Words have become increasingly present, as she investigates the dialogue between text and image, or text and matter. And she often explores monochromy and the restraint of composition as a counterpoint to the many forms of excess we are daily exposed to.
In 2023, she held her first solo exhibition at the Museum of Image and Sound of São Paulo (MIS-SP), after being selected for the museum’s “Nova Fotografia” open call. The exhibited works have since become part of the museum’s permanent collection.
Salua holds a degree in Economics from INSPER (São Paulo, 2007) and in Photography from Escola Panamericana de Arte (São Paulo, 2017).

She brings the outside world into our realms, allowing us to explore the profound togetherness that binds us to the natural environment. By deconstructing and reassembling sustainably sourced materials, Karla creates a visual language that speaks to the ephemeral nature of life, the beauty of decay, and the intricate layers that compose our collective story.
Kantorovich received the Ellies Creator Award 2021 from Oolite Arts, leading to her immersive art installation “AMATE” at Piero Atchugarry Gallery in 2022.
