Leire Pérez Dezcallar
Visual artist
A multidisciplinary artist who primarily works with installation, sculpture, and drawing. The materials used in her series are either donated or found. Her research explores themes related to both plant and human societies, where light and shadow, the use of space, and movement shape concepts of boundaries and borders.
The garden is used as a metaphor to create imaginaries where the viewer encounters corridors and installations with boundaries, reminiscent of labyrinths and plant-based spaces, creating a duality between the controlled world (the human condition) and the wild world (the plant condition). In her pieces, one may encounter rhizomatic and organic forms, combined with fragments of faces and gazes. The materials used to create her pieces include acrylics and thin wood boards, on which she transfers fragmented images from illustrations or photographs, which she carves or shapes to install in the center of the exhibition space, offering the viewer the opportunity to navigate the space and observe the multiple pieces from different angles.
