Lidia Cao

‘From a very young age, Lidia was interested in drawing, specialising in the treatment of figures and faces, carefully analysing expressions to achieve how to say a lot with the minimum. 

In her work the characters have a primary weight in the composition and the dreamlike atmospheres she generates enhance the expressiveness of her faces, which function as intimate psychological portraits and acquire a veiled but intense dramaturgy. 

Highlight her mastery of volume through a firm and accurate line, her taste for synthesis in her color palettes, pondering the importance of drawing over color. 

In 2018 street art crossed her path, and since that moment her career as an illustrator was combined with her mural work, which was gaining more and more weight, leading her to participate in different international street art events in recent years.

She currently has her studio in Madrid, although she travels a lot to her native Galicia for various projects too.’
