Marité Vidales was born in San José, Costa Rica, where she graduated from the School of Fine Arts of the University of Costa Rica.  For over 20 years, Marité has exhibited throughout United States, Costa Rica and Germany.  Her work reflects a passion for symbols and colors. 

"The powerful works of Marité Vidales enable the viewer to perceive a sense of mystery, magic and dream-like representations..." Jaime Daremblum, Former Ambassador of Costa Rica to the United States.

"This tension, seductiveness, and conceptual dualism in Vidales's paintings are hallmarks of truly romantic landscapes."  Efraim Hernández, Art Historian at Costa Rica's Universidad Nacional.

"La pintura de Marité Vidales, más allá de su buen manejo del dibujo y del colorido, es espacial, misteriosa, geométrica y poética. Un canto cósmico que parte de las entrañas de la emblemática montaña volcánica."  Marcelo Mendiata, Director y Editor, Argentina Universal.
