Lillian Aguinaga is a Peruvian - American figurative painter whose work places focus on the human experience and pursuit of belonging while navigating the constant burden of existence. Through her figurative paintings, she examines the complexity and impact of the emotional and psychological conditions that we endure while we cope with personal and collective stress, grief, and trauma. She goes on to explore how the weight of mental disorders adds to these emotions. 

 

Lillian is currently based in New Orleans, LA. She received a BFA in Painting from University of Louisiana - Lafayette in 2010. Lillian’s work has been exhibited in galleries internationally, including Newcomb Art Museum, Good Children Gallery, Hilliard University Art Museum, PXP Contemporary, and Longview Museum of Fine Art. She is a published artist and was most recently named in Where Y’at Magazine’s ‘Top 25 New Orleans Artists You Should Know.’
