My Story
Lia Larrea is an Ecuadorian-American artist working within different media ranging from fashion and technology, film, photography, and ceramics. She studied at the Art Institute of California - San Francisco, and launched her fashion label while in residency at the Macy’s Incubator. She has dressed television talent like Ginger Zee, chief meteorologist for ABC News for the Macy’s Go Red For Women fashion show, as well as collaborated with fashion bloggers and influencers in the U.S., E.U, and Latin America. Her work has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle, SOMA Magazine, Univision, and NBC, among others.
Lia’s Latin and American background have influenced her art through the implementation of ideas that mirror a bridge between cultures. She explores sound and materialism through film, while her photography ranges from portraits to landscapes and lifestyle. Her sculptural work embodies shapes that can be deconstructed and transformed to cohabitate with their environment, telling her story of evolution as an artist. Lia is currently developing the next phase of her work at the University of Art and Design in Linz, Austria and is also an adjunct professor at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California.
