Yara Ligiéro

Yara Ligiéro is a 28-year-old visual artist, art teacher, and single mother. Ligiéro has two diploma degrees from Beaux-Arts de Paris, where she lived for 7 years before returning to Brazil during the pandemic (late 2020). Ligiero’s main artistic language is painting, though her work is a hybrid process, including other poetic practices such as video and writing. “Domestic issues and motherhood compose the subject of my work. My intention is to always expose the paradoxical quality of such an environment: strength and vulnerability; protection and imprisonment; pleasure and pain- all at once. From an intimate perspective, self-image is deployed as a way of resistance.”
