LUJÁN PERÉZ HERNÁNDEZ
Luján Peréz Hernández (b. 1991, Madrid, Spain) has lived in between Spain and the United States since the age of six. Following the completion of her bachelors degree, Perez worked and lived on farmland in Tupelo, Mississippi, creating her own printing press, later attending the Leipzig International Artist Program, and most recently the recipient of the Chubb Fellowship, and The Macedonia Institute Residency in July 2021.
Her work employs a combination of printmaking, drawing, painting, and sculpture; exploring the relationship between earth and spirit while tackling the eternally plaguing questions of love, death, rebirth, and belonging.

Luján Peréz Hernández is represented by Swivel Gallery.
