May 2025 2-D Featured Artist Lisbeth Ascanio

Lisbeth Ascanio is a distinguished figurative artist and fashion designer. Born in Caracas, Venezuela, Ascanio’s artistic journey began at an early age, influenced by her older brother, who was also an artist. By the age of seven, she was already skilled at drawing portraits, a talent she has since refined into her unique style.

Her passion for art led her to study Fashion Design at the Las Mercedes Design Academy in Caracas, where she enhanced her artistic abilities with a focus on fashion. For 27 years, Lisbeth successfully created and produced casual clothing under her brand Avangard, finding great satisfaction in this endeavor. Despite her achievements in fashion, her desire to express herself through painting remained strong.

She rekindled her love for painting in 2018. Lisbeth has participated in numerous exhibitions in both Venezuela and the United States, gaining recognition for her work. In 2021, she relocated to the United States in search pf new opportunities amidst the challenges in her homeland. 

“I find inspiration in daily random encounters and the intrinsic voice and expression of the creative process,” said Lisbeth. “My goal is to achieve a harmonious balance between color, luminosity, and distance, while aiming to convey peace and relaxation in my works.”
