Artist's Statement

Lilivet is a young creator who, despite being self-taught, has managed to imprint her personality on her work. His work dazzles to be a process of introspection, where the character dialogues directly with the viewer, becomes a sui generis form of communication interlocutor-receiver, this mediator can be from a joker to a child. Are not these beings a game with the self-portrait, the intention to extrapolate to other bodies, to live a dreamed life, a reference to the first acts of body art? The closest visual references of Lilivet, keep analogy with children's books. Its cosmogony reflects the ideo-aesthetic relations of these publications. It is a point of contact with literature, through a naive representation that dialogues with existential problems. The concern for the environment, the questioning about our relationship with life and the responsibilities forgotten or segregated by the technological highways, recreates it from the reflection and analysis of the behaviors of the human being. His work constitutes the brave act of questioning the role played by the artist and his work, as transforming entities of reality.
