Lisa Rubin is a Spanish/American artist currently based in Barcelona. She works primarily with mixed media and collage, making thoughtful and complex compositions inspired by the natural world and its cycles, and by the contents of her noisy brain. Identity, the secret life of plants, and ancient history are all subjects that come into play, brought to life through a layering of images and found objects that come to her by chance. Working with mixed-media and collage allows her the freedom to address many subjects, but also follows her belief that art should be made out of everything. The majority of her materials are recycled, discarded, or found. Her work is immensely symbolic, every component has not just one, but many, reasons for being there.
