About

Lym Moreno (Venezuela)
Master 's degree in Fine Arts from Universidad Nacional Experimental de las Artes (UNEA), Caracas.
Lives and works in Vienna.

In my Work, I seek to connect color, shape and texture in carefree, joyful and spontaneous figures and bodies. By articulating different interactions of these three elements I pursue the production of figurative and abstract images. I usually explore the nexus between human, animal and plant affinities, where the human aspect is introduced inside environments that are joined with other forms of life. Simultaneously the connection and expression of my Venezuelan cultural heritage is reflected with allegorical elements of exuberance and vibrant mixture.

Lym Moreno works with a variety of media depending on the unique requirements of each project, such as cut paper collage, paper sculpture, drawing, stop motion animation, printmaking techniques such as woodcut, linocut and also painting. The last one under her pseudonym "MOSTA" and exclusively in the public space, where since 2004 she has expanded her visual language, experimenting in different contexts and formats.

Focusing on paper cutout collage, using papers that I first draw by hand, composing textures and patterns on them, which I later use to produce more elaborate compositions.  My interest in using paper as my main material has its origins in my family background. My maternal grandfather's printing house was the key place where my appreciation for the graphic world began during most of my childhood and adolescence. This familiarity established the unique connection with this materia.
