I’m Liliana Zuccardi
For over 25 years, through abstract art, I’ve translated emotions, silences, intuitions, and experiences that words cannot name.
I’ve lived in Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil, the United States, and completed an artist residency in Italy. Each place has left its mark on my vision and on my work.
Painting and sculpting are, for me, a way of being in the world. I work with color, texture, form, and space, allowing each piece to take on a life of its own. I create from sensitivity, inner strength, and the need to make the invisible visible.
BRAILE
Braille is the result of reinvention. The visual limitation I face has not
stopped me; on the contrary, it has led me to explore new forms of
expression. In this series, sight gives way to touch: relief, textures,
and materials become a tangible language, allowing the work to be
experienced beyond the visual.
Each piece is an invitation to touch—to feel the roughness and
softness, to discover that art is not only observed but perceived with
the entire body. Braille is a reminder that creativity has no limits and
that every challenge presents an opportunity for transformation.
Through this series, I hope to inspire others to explore new
perspectives and to find in art a means of overcoming obstacles,
adapting, and continuing to create.
Tropical Country
País Tropical emerges from my five years in Brazil, a country where
art vibrates in every corner. Its emblematic streets, filled with
mosaics, graffiti, and vibrant colors, along with its breathtaking
natural landscapes, have been the essence of this series. Through
this work, I capture my admiration and love for a land full of life and
creativity.
Currently, the series consists of three sculptures that reinterpret the
mosaic from a contemporary perspective. Using ceramics and
recycled materials, I decontextualize its traditional use, transforming
fragments into pieces of art. Each sculpture is worked on all sides,
creating a three-dimensional experience that invites the viewer to
discover new details from every angle.
This process pays tribute to Brazil’s rich visual and cultural identity,
capturing its energy and dynamism through color, texture, and form.
País Tropical marks the beginning of a deeper exploration of art and
identity, where the transformation of materials and abstraction
become a language that transcends words.
Flora
Flora is an artistic exploration of rediscovering the woman within
me—a journey of transformation where I allow myself to be and
recognize myself fully. Through this series, I capture the freedom of
embracing my feminine identity, celebrating its strength, beauty, and
renewal.
Each work is a symbol of this process of self-discovery and
empowerment. Like flowers, which represent the cycle of life from
birth to full bloom, this series reflects my personal evolution—the
ability to flourish with determination and authenticity.
Using mixed techniques, vibrant colors, and dynamic compositions, I
invite the viewer to immerse themselves in this sensory and
emotional experience. Flora is not just a visual representation of
femininity; it is a manifestation of inner strength, where every petal,
every brushstroke, and every texture narrates the story of a woman
who reinvents herself and blossoms
Umbral
Umbral marks the passage into a new stage in both my artistic
practice and my life. After exploring geometric abstraction, I felt the
need to break away from its structure and immerse myself in a freer,
more visceral expression. This series was born from a deep process
of introspection, driven by experiences that transformed my body
and perception: the loss of fertility after a hysterectomy and an eye
disease that altered the way I see the world.
From this umbral (threshold), I move through pain, scars, and
uncertainty, but I also discover new openings. Each piece is a
testament to this transition, where the pictorial elements reflect both
the fragility and strength of acceptance. Here, stains and materials
become a language, evoking the tension between the internal and
external, between wounds and their poetry.
This series invites an exploration of transformation through art,
crossing boundaries, and finding beauty in what emerges from the
most honest and visceral experiences.
Geometric Abstract
In this series, I engage in an internal exploration of perfectionism,
balance, and the need to either conform to or break away from the
aesthetic norms imposed by society. Geometry, with its precision
and visual harmony, becomes the starting point for a deeper search:
Should my work be pleasing? Should it conform to an established
ideal, or should it challenge it?
Through clean lines, precise shapes, and a carefully selected color
palette, I initiate a dialogue between the rigidity of geometric
structure and the freedom of personal expression. The evolution of
this series reflects a gradual departure from predefined paradigms,
giving way to compositions that distort the initial perfection and
question the need for external validation.
Each piece is the result of an introspective process in which I seek
to free my artistic voice from conventional standards, inviting the
viewer on a visual and emotional journey that goes beyond the
decorative.
Geometric Abstraction is not only a study of form and color but also
a manifesto of creative independence.
