Liliana has been exhibiting since the early 1990's. Influenced by her South American culture, particularly it's music, omnipresent religious iconography and the richness of it's art, Liliana has developed a distinctive visual imagery that absorbs the viewer into a sensual and often challenging dialogue. In her latest series opening at The Monash Gallery, Victoria, 12th December 2005, the vibrancy of innocence is overshadowed by potents of threat; passions of joy are pitted with the abyss of powers beyond control, beyond knowing. Within this matrix are symbols and geometries that reference time ,flight and magic. As the circle of of experience widens, inevitability closes in.
Liliana states her work is formed in the context of life and death, where time and space intersect.
"The time you have, and the space you occupy in that time, were given to you in the beginning, for you to take ownership of. The moments always wait for you, to create your life in that space". |
