Lina Condes

Biography

Lina Condes (Ukr. Лiна Кондес; born 3 November 1988, Cherkassy city, Ukraine) is an
American artist. Condes’s work displays attributes of minimalism, surrealism, and pop art, infused
with social and psychological content.
“The concept of energy and positive thinking is central to Condes’ work, but also her
persona…Her attitude is indicative of a belief system that is gaining popularity across Generation
Z: surround yourself with positive energy, and the universe will reward you with positive
outcomes.” Forbes
Lina Condes incorporates principles of bionic architecture and design into her work. They appear
simplistic and crude (the globally-known symbol of the “stick figure” implies a lack of
understanding or a refusal to emulate our three-dimensional surroundings), but once finished, they
communicate gestures which no machine could fully replicate. A full series these “stick figures”
are engaged in motions; there is no indication of identity, no indication of response or stimulus
from these seemingly “dead” pieces of steel. They are rendered via computer technology, but their
end result is far from mechanized.
Condes picked emojis as a subject for her art for the childhood nostalgia they evoke. Her sculptures
are not just symbols of happiness, but manifestos.

La Biennale di Venezia
Condes presented “Sphinx”, an interactive sculpture in which a watchful eye merges with a
stylized body observing what surrounds it, sometimes with benevolence, sometimes with
malevolence, during 57th International Art Exhibition – La Biennale di Venezia.
