Lydia Rubio is a multidisciplinary visual artist with a 45-year artistic practice and a 10-year teaching experience in art and design that includes Parsons School of Design NY. where she created and led for three years the Visual Thinking studio. Her practice ranges across painting, works on paper, artist books and public art. Rubio’s works can be found in many public, and private international collections . Rubio holds a Master of Architecture from the Harvard University, Graduate School of Design, where she studied art and visual perception.

How can landscape painting serve as a source of refuge and self-reflection in today’s challenging world? During this virtual webinar, Cuban American artist Lydia Rubio will discuss how her work reinterprets the notion of “landscape,” taking inspiration from Frederic Church and members of the “Hudson River School”. Much like Church himself, Rubio’s paintings take inspiration from her travels as well as the landscape and ecology of the Hudson River and are deeply informed by her interest in philosophy, geometry, and Latin American culture.
