María Paz Silva Sainte–Marie is a Chilean visual artist who has dedicated the past fifteen years to collage and has been teaching collage for the last six. Her work combines archival photographs, paper, vintage documents and textiles to explore memory, the passage of time, and the human gestures that connect us across generations.

Her work has been exhibited in Chile and internationally, including at ArtStgo Contemporary Art Fair, where she received the ArtStgo–Nescafé Award in 2024 for her artwork En Vuelo. She has also exhibited in Mexico and was selected for the international exhibition Mujeres que cortan y pegan in Madrid. Alongside her artistic practice, she leads collage workshops, encouraging participants to develop their own visual language through observation, composition and material exploration.
