Who is Art By Lidia?

Lidia Barrera was born in Guatemala City and came to Canada in the early 1980’s. She was raised in Toronto and since has developed her own roots, as she is a mother of two young children.  Lidia is a trained registered nurse who practices her career in the world of pediatrics.

As a self taught artist she enjoys to explore the use of many forms of mediums, but prefers acrylic paints when creating paintings on canvas.  Most of her work is dedicated to the memories of her childhood in Guatemala, to her many adventures she has shared with her young family in her Motherland. She celebrates her love for the city she lives in as she incorporates Canadian and Torontonian touches in her work, in her daily life and aims to share her work within the city now and in the future.

My Specialties

Women Power

Women have come a long way and have achieved much more empowerment along the way as other women from the part have paved the way. We here, today will use the magic and continue to guide the future generation of women to be strong warriors. The female art I create is bold and bright and it is a true testament  of how vibrant  mujeres truly are.

Wooden Crosses

These crosses are all OOAK, unique pieces of art on wood. I create them in a very bold manner to reflect a LatinAmerican vibe. Having said that, they are celebratory creatoins of faith. I most definitely sell them on Etsy and can absolutely customize a price as requested.

Guatemalan Headscarves

These fashionable headscarves are made of 100% Guatemalan textiles. The fabrics are made by Guatemalan artisans that represent the rich Mayan history. I’ve chosen to create these scarves as a symbol of pride of my Motherland. I wear them with pride and share them with you to share this beautiful vibe.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

Why I created this…? Well,  let’s see… Because it’s real. Because though my voice can be small in comparison to other advocates out there in the world… I felt the need to address the fact that Black Lives Matter in a very public form. I never thought I’d have to write it down or to share that publicly because in my world it’s just a fact. However… I guess it’s not that way in the lives of others. The more you say things, you believe them, the more you see them, they become a truth, the more they are advertised the more accepted they are. If this even touches one person out there, then I think I’d feel settled knowing that I tried to make a difference. This is not just an American problem… Racism against Black people exists everywhere. Why I empathize this issue… Because my ancestors and other people of color have faced racism and cruelty… So I stand united with Black lives because they matter.

CROSSES

This cross is the perfect gift for any one who is a lover of floral images, bright tones, and a Latin American vibe. Great for a birthday, baby shower, graduation or any religious sacrament. In addition it can be given to someone as a Christmas gift.
