Our Virtual Visit series takes a behind-the-scenes look at what our community members are up to through studio tours and conversations about their creative practices. Join us twice a month on Wednesdays 7pm EST on IG Live.

Maria Yolanda Liebana is a MAXIMALIST! Her work is fueled by an obsession with celebrity, pop motifs, media in all formats, aesthetics, and excessive consumption, as well as the seductive promises that these symbols offer. As part of her practice, she collects high- and low-end art materials and reassembles them with organic, abstract forms and feminine signifiers - reclaiming these once familiar material goods to form objects with new value and meaning. And through a process of attraction and repulsion, Liebana satisfies her personal consumerist desires, achieving a sense of empowerment, and shaping her identity in a hyperconnected and materialist society.
