Liz Salazar (Lizeth Salazar Morales) is a Mexican artist based in Barcelona. She has lived in the city for the past ten years. She works in analogue collage, cutting and layering paper by hand. She trained at the UNAM in Mexico and holds a doctorate in Society, Art and Heritage from the University of Barcelona. Theory and practice sit side by side in everything she makes.

Her work explores identity, uprootedness and the way memory shifts over time. She builds each image from recycled paper and found fragments. Nature leads the research. In her series Invernadero, flowers, fungi and hybrid organisms grow through the work as figures of change and rebirth. She has also worked on intercultural projects with the European Horizon 2020 programme.
