Lorien Suarez
"I create with fiber to honor memory, place, and a sense of belonging. Each thread becomes a gesture of connection—between cultures, nature, and geometry. Grounded in my multicultural heritage and the cycles of the natural world, my tapestries weave resilience and renewal, inviting viewers to reflect on their own stories of transformation and home."
Lorien Suárez-Kanerva creates fiber-based artworks that honor memory, place, and belonging. Guided by her multicultural heritage—spanning Venezuela, Finland, and the United States—she weaves together diverse traditions, ecological rhythms, and geometric abstraction. Each tapestry is a meditation on resilience and renewal, where blossoms, roots, and patterns converge in cycles of transformation.
Lorien Suárez-Kanerva works across fiber, mixed media, and traditional art techniques, creating all-tufted and all-woven tapestries as well as hybrid works that integrate collage and painting. Alongside her fiber practice, she also works in printmaking, watercolor, ink, and pastel drawing, expanding her exploration of geometry, color, and natural symbolism across multiple media.
With solo museum shows and reviews by leading critics underscoring the intellectual depth of her work, Lorien Suárez-Kanerva offers collectors artworks of lasting cultural resonance and contemporary relevance in fiber and abstraction. She is also the award-winning author of Coalescing Geometries (International Latino Book Awards, 2019) and a contributing writer for Whitehot Magazine and Art Miami.
