Lia Proti
Visual artist and spatial designer
lisproti@gmail.com
Her practice unfolds across painting, scenography, and installation, moving fluidly between two-dimensional and spatial forms. Drawing on years of study and professional experience, she divides her time between technical production of works and installations for festivals and other organizations, and an independent artistic research grounded in drawing, painting, and textile installation
Central to her personal production is an investigation of the body as a threshold between materic presence and immaterial experience. Through experimental visual strategies, her work examines vulnerability, emotional states, and the relationship between corporeality, memory, and perception.
Writing and drawing are integral to her process, functioning as tools for reflection and conceptual inquiry before taking form through painting and the physical construction of the work. Each project develops through a sustained process of research and internalization, transforming personal experiences into visual and spatial compositions that invite broader collective readings.

Visual artist and spatial designer
lisproti@gmil.com
Her practice unfolds across painting, scenography, and installation, moving fluidly between two-dimensional and spatial forms. Drawing on years of study and professional experience, she develops works that combine pictorial language with textile, wood, and metal, expanding painting beyond the canvas into site-responsive environments.
Central to her research is an investigation of the body as a threshold between materic presence and immaterial experience. Through experimental visual strategies, her work examines vulnerability, emotional states, and the relationship between corporeality, memory, and perception.
Writing and drawing are integral to her process, functioning as tools for reflection and conceptual inquiry before taking form through painting and the physical construction of the work.
