Maria Vera is a Dutch artist and engineer seeking to capture the beauty of life through art and technology. She works with kinetic objects, optical illusion and light to create ephemeral artworks which effortlessly flow in time and space. 

For over a decade she has developed and produced highly challenging light- and kinetic installations all over the world. With her London-based studio called Dreams Work, she has worked with artists, engineers and architects, among which the Amsterdam based Studio Drift, Marshmallow Laser Feast and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.

In her own expressions, she is inclining towards minimalism; needing less, doing less, and using less is the new luxury. It comes with a new kind of freedom; one that feels playful, agile, and light weight.
