Biography
Lucia Hierro
Lucia Hierro (b. 1987, USA) is a Dominican American conceptual artist born and raised in New York City, where she continues to live and work. She holds a BFA from SUNY Purchase and an MFA from the Yale School of Art, completed in 2013.
 
Working across sculpture, textile art, digital media and installation, Hierro explores consumer culture, identity and the intersections of capitalism, migration and cultural heritage. Drawing inspiration from everyday objects, commercial imagery and the sewing traditions of the women in her family, she creates oversized soft sculptures and assemblages that combine Pop Art aesthetics with personal and collective narratives. Her work examines how brands and consumer goods shape our sense of belonging, revealing the social and cultural meanings embedded in objects of everyday life.
 
Her work has been exhibited at institutions including the Bronx Museum of the Arts and the Museum of the African Diaspora in San Francisco. Her works are held in prominent collections, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, El Museo del Barrio, the Pérez Art Museum Miami, the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the JP Morgan & Chase Collection.
