Lililana Hernandez

My name is Liliana Hernandez (b. 1977). A multi-media painter from El Salvador, I am now living and creating art in California, working out of Momentum Creative Studios since 1998. The Studios are crucial to my identity as a creative individual and artist. Primarily a painter using pencils, colored markers, acrylic paint, and digital apps like Procreate, I’m also a photographer often out in the community shooting photographs of things that inspire me, and I like exploring 3D printing with my work. I have several adapted tools to support my creation. My artwork captures things of beauty and things that intrigue me, including flowers, people, animals, and landscapes. I like to look at other people’s art and imagery online and in books, making my own interpretations of them. They usually involve different textures made with my fingers and bright popping colors, especially pink!

My work has been included in several group exhibitions including in The Unfiltered Mind at the LA Convention Center (2019), Personal Curiosities at Brewery Art Walk LA (2014), and in several across the years at The Washington Reid Gallery, which was part of Momentum Creative Studios. In Imagining Something New in 2019, I created an immersive installation with multicolored 3D printed plastic flowers, which I designed and arranged myself, across the gallery walls.
