Lize

Lize is an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, emotion, and urban landscapes. Born and raised in Johannesburg, her creative journey began with sketching city life before expanding to painting, digital media, and immersive installations. Lize’s art is marked by vibrant color palettes and a dynamic layering technique that evokes both nostalgia and hope, with recurrent motifs drawn from South African visual culture.

After studying Fine Arts at the University of Cape Town, she exhibited in several group shows across South Africa and participated in international art fairs, quickly gaining recognition for her evocative narratives and bold experimentation with materials. Lize’s most recent projects delve into the complexities of identity and belonging, drawing inspiration from her own experiences and community stories. Through her work, she encourages viewers to reflect on the transient nature of lived spaces and the invisible threads that connect people to places.
