Liza Shkirando (Swe/Rus, b.1986), works across sculpture, performance, painting and installation.

MSc Interaction design. Based in Malmö, Sweden.

At the moment, I am interested in the concept of Gravity as both a physical force and an existential condition shaping bodies, materials, and identities. I approach Gravity as a co-creator, pulling, deforming, and resisting control, allowing form to emerge beyond authorship and a material force. Gravity also acts as a conceptual tool. I explore the theme of belonging and how we gravitate toward places, histories, people, (sub)cultures and identities in search of roots, while never fully arriving. Between grounding and falling, my work reflects on how identity is shaped by forces we inherit and cannot escape.

I have exhibited throughout Europe and Canada, including Kunsthal Aarhus (Aarhus, Denmark), FRANK Gallery (Malmö, Sweden) and Duplex Gallery (Lisbon, Portugal), performed at Lindenow festival (Leipzig, Germany) and currently booked by Inkonst for the fall of 2026. I’ve been a guest lecturer at Linnaeus University (Växjö, Sweden) and Malmö University speaking about my artistic practice and research. I am involved with Monster Lab led by Line Henriksen, Phd, at Malmö University and I am a member of Galleri Rostrum in Malmö.
