Quiara Torres

A visceral storyteller through texture and trace, Quiara Torres reclaims material and memory in equal parts. Her practice is rooted in transformation — of fabric, of figure, of form — where surfaces become sites of resistance, softness, and ancestral echo. Le Giraffe is both relic and reverie, rendered on salvaged burlap as if pulled from a dream stitched with time. The work debuted in a group show at Wönzimer, a space known for amplifying voices that stretch the language of contemporary art beyond convention.

For collectors who crave narrative with grit, grace, and deep visual flavor — this is one to devour.Le Giraffe doesn’t just live on the wall; it shifts the energy of a room. It invites quiet contemplation, bold conversation, and the kind of slow-burning wonder that lingers long after first glance.
