About the Artist

Liz Flores

Liz Flores is a painter and muralist based in Chicago, Illinois. She is deeply influenced by the everyday human experience, storytelling, and the female body. Working primarily with acrylic paint on canvas, her work is a representation of the human condition through lines, shapes, and abstract figures. It’s a reaction to life, an emotion, or a memory and is driven by her interests in community, womanhood, and Latinidad. While the women in her paintings are influenced by her experiences, they remain ambiguous in face and form, giving the viewer the opportunity to see themselves.

"Painting has always been my way of self-understanding and for viewers, it’s my hope that my work can spark self-reflection in their own life."
