Synopsis

Lidia reflects on childhood and its crucial influence on a person’s subsequent development. By means of her customary sensitivity and delicacy, she gives us this poetic and suggestive image, which places the viewer in that context and conveys an unsettling feeling of peace and balance.

Bio

She graduated in Illustration from A Coruña’s Pablo Picasso Art and Design School. From a very young age she was interested in drawing, specialising in the treatment of figures and faces, for which she meticulously analysed expressions to be able to convey much with little. In her work, the characters play a fundamental role in the composition and the dreamlike atmospheres enhance the expressiveness of their faces, which function as intimate psychological portraits and acquire a veiled but intense dramaturgy. What stands out is the mastery of volume through a firm and precise line, the taste for synthesis in her colour palettes, and her attraction for desaturated and less strident ranges, considering the importance of drawing over colour.
