Lisardo created and developed the concept of neodramatism, which delves into the existential and metaphysical limits of modern life. In his book Neodramatismo: Aequinoctium pater noster, he reflects on the dehumanization of contemporary society, often symbolized through crumbling urban structures. His work critiques these spaces, urging us to confront the fragility of human existence and the complexities of modern living.
Lisardo’s work, inspired by the tradition of vanitas, uses decaying urban structures as symbols of the fleeting nature of life and the impermanence of human ambition.
His art is heavily influenced by artists like Gordon Matta-Clark, merging creation and destruction to reflect on the dehumanizing paths we have carved in our pursuit of progress.
Exhibiting internationally, Lisardo’s work challenges us to reconsider the emotional and philosophical layers of the spaces we occupy and the world around us.
Born in 1978 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Nicolás Lisardo is a Spanish artist internationally recognized for his meticulously crafted works that create urban landscapes marked by the passage of time.
