Luz Lizarazo presents her work in the Artist Projects section at ARCO 2025. Through her practice, Lizarazo challenges the boundaries between drawing and installation, merging visual language with concepts of space, body, and identity. Her work is distinguished by a deep investigation into the materiality and interaction of elements. From sheer stockings to glass, bones, and metal, Lizarazo transforms everyday materials into powerful symbols, questioning the way the body is represented and experienced. The choice of materials—often delicate, fragile, and vulnerable, yet also resistant and strong—underscores the complexity of the human body and its constant transformation. In her installations, each element takes center stage and contributes to a conversation about the relationship between the body, time, decay, and the environment. On the other hand, her drawings enrich this dialogue, offering abstract representations of the body and sensory experiences.


With great excitement, we share the news that this week the Museo Reina Sofía acquired Piel extendida, reaffirming the relevance of her research in the contemporary art scene and her ability to push the boundaries of current art, inviting the public to discover a work of great conceptual rigor and sensitivity.

"The skin is the largest organ of the human body, a tissue that envelops and transforms us. Through sheer stockings, I explore its fragility and resilience, dissecting it, sewing it, weaving it. In each reconstructed fragment, I seek not only to represent the body but to inhabit it and extend its memory into space."
