Lyora Pissarro’s work is a synthesis and a bridge between the past and future, humans and nature, mind and body, technology and myth. Her paintings stand at the focal point between history and the imminent future, the realized and the imagined. Standing on the shoulders of a lineage of impressionist landscape artists, her work embraces her artistic heritage, while articulating an entirely new perspective. Lyora’s research into this project not only looks outward toward nature but inward as well. This particular vantage point on nature and the self, take form in an evolving series called Mindscapes. While Lyora focuses primarily on painting, her creations also emerge as digital sketches, interactive installations, and light sculptures. Presented are distortions of the habitual landscape form, blending the digital into the traditional and blurring the elusive nature of reality itself. Worlds are created and connected through endless layers of color, optical illusions arise, and perspectives are formed, conveying the multitude of landscapes within one’s inner psychology. Lyora paints in Brooklyn New York and completed her formal education at Hunter College, after doing her foundation year at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) Lyora Pissarro has held exhibitions in New York, Utah, Texas, Los Angeles, Mexico City, Barcelona & London.
