Using unconventional materials, Lia Do Rio creates her works through a language which lies somewhere between installation, and appropriation and intervention work, to share her perception of how we build memories of the past and the future in the eternal and timeless present. Rio has her Bachelor’s of Fine Arts from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and is currently an art teacher at the Visual Art School of Parque Lage and at the Calouste Gulbenkian Art Center. She has been a participant in collective and one-person shows in Brazil, the United States, Guatemala, Germany and France. She has presented lectures, had her work appear in collections, and has been honored in competitions, specifically, the "XX" and "XXII National Competition of Belo Horizonte," "Interferências Urbanas" (award), "Brahma Reciclarte" (award), "Macunaíma 90," "FIAT 89" (award), "Novos-Novos" and "Le Déjeuner Sur L'Art" in Rio de Janeiro and "Meditronic Art Competition" (award) in São Paulo. Rio has also participated in the conception of the art books "Dialeto" and "Dialeto II" at the gallery of the University of Rio de Janeiro.
