What I'm About
Step into the artistic world of Gaby Liasco, an Argentinian sculptor whose work emerges from a dialogue between hands, clay and emotions. With a lifelong passion for ceramics, Gabriela showcases a deep understanding of human anatomy and artistic expression. Each piece is handcrafted slowly and intentionally, shaped to capture intimate expressions and the beauty of the human form. "My sculptures live in homes, studios, and public spaces, inviting viewers to pause, connect, and feel the presence within each figure."

About My Art
My work is the result of a long deep search of my inner psyche. It is the statement of emotions that I subconsciously liberate in the form of my art work. Sculptures are where I feel I can express myself the best. I am fascinated with human body parts, their shapes, movements and expressions.
I process my ideas and compose many sketches until I get a final draft. The scale of the project changes the visual impact. It could be a sculpture that fits in my hands or an urban project as big as a mural on a building facade. I work with passion and I have passion for the process. I work with iron bars to shape the structure and I apply the cement. Subtle movements from my hand to my tool will create new textures and shadows.
My work is made from the land using sand and clay. Earth materials, honest, pure materials from the soil. With the same enthusiasm I use clay, direct cement or cast and I transform them into a sculpture that represents a part of me.
Ceramic gives me the freedom to be spontaneous. My fingers move along the clay like we are meant for each other in a continuous play of illusions.
My work is linked to each other. There is a transition between one piece and the next. There are hands: oversized, over-exposed, tough hands, skinny fingers, working hands, hands that hold thoughts. There are faces: surreal, expressive, pain, anguish. Faces that get attention and share their feelings. There are eyes: wide open, looking straight, looking out as well as internally. Eyes of the soul. Texture is the final aspect on my pieces. Texture is as important as the shape. I bring color to my work at the end of my creative process. It becomes part of the art without competing against it.
My paintings, on the other hand, are full of color and they are an explosion of contrasting hues; though the essence is the same; the human body expressing feelings of confinement.
