LIZ CAPOTE
b. 1996, Cuba.

​

Through oil painting and drawing, I investigate the female interior experience of violence, tenderness, and survival. Moving between pictorial figuration and emotional abstraction, my work examines the body as a contested landscape, becoming a threshold where intimacy and harm coexist, where trauma is absorbed into flesh, and resolution withheld.

​

LIZ CAPOTE is an artist whose practice spans painting, drawing, and animation. Her work explores everyday existence within a society shaped by political and moral violence.
