LILIANA ALVES
Liliana Alves (Itajubá, MG, 1962) is a visual artist. She lives and works in Sorocaba, SP. A graduate in Language and Literature from the Universidade de Sorocaba, she has taken numerous independent courses in visual arts with Paulo Pasta, Charles Watson, Marco Giannotti, Rodrigo Naves, Paulo Miyada, and Pedro França.
With a career beginning in the early 1980s, she develops a research practice in painting rooted in the observation of everyday life, memory, and landscape. In her works, familiar objects and situations are displaced into the pictorial field, where she investigates relationships between color, form, surface, composition, and space, transforming banal elements into visual experiences marked by a poetic dimension.
Since the mid-1980s, she has taken part in exhibitions and art salons at various institutions, including the Salões de Ribeirão Preto, Santo André, Piracicaba, and Sorocaba, the Trienal Frestas at Sesc Sorocaba, the Centro Cultural dos Correios in Rio de Janeiro, and the Palácio do Itamaraty in Brasília. Her works are held in institutional and private collections, notably the Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Sorocaba, the Pinacoteca Municipal de Sorocaba, the collections of the city governments of Santo André and Piracicaba, and the Museu FAMA in Itu.

"There are artists who depict settings that seem to be waiting for someone, or for something to happen. In Liliana Alves's scenes, life has just passed through, leaving traces behind. Fearless, the artist is permanently stepping out of what would be her "comfort zone," moving toward an undomesticated practice.
(...)
'I don't paint what I see,' states Liliana Alves. We stand before an artist who places herself in relation to the invisible and the imaginary. Although the main subject of her painting is the common, familiar object, appropriated from the everyday domestic surroundings, it holds a strangeness, a peculiarity, an unease."
Paula Alzugaray.
