Ligia Dias

Ligia Dias develops a creative practice at the intersection of art, design, and fashion, creating both functional and non-functional objects that explore the relationships between materials, processes, and authorship. Her work blends standard materials from hardware and jewelry stores, remnants of her own production, and found objects, often transforming them into objects that question overproduction and the value assigned to materials. Central to her practice is the concept of appropriation and transmission, where objects pay homage to influential artists, designers, or figures from her personal and artistic circles. By repurposing materials and integrating artisanal techniques without seeking mastery, Dias elevates both precious and non-precious elements, highlighting their aesthetic and conceptual potential. Her installations and sculptural works, including chairs, stools, and mirrors, engage in spatial dialogues that reflect on the functionality and symbolic meaning of objects. Through this approach, Dias explores the balance between production, memory, and cultural reference, creating pieces that merge poetry, critique, and historical consciousness. Her work consistently interrogates the life of objects and the role of the artist as a producer, offering new perspectives on materiality, reuse, and artistic lineage. ...
