Lilia Umaña-Clarke was born in Colombia where she trained as an architect before moving to England to gain her BA in Fine Art at the University of Hertfordshire. She now has a studio in Hackney where she regularly produces pieces for several galleries around the UK, in addition to her individual and commercial commissions.
A great source of her inspiration comes from the ceramics of early South American civilizations and their symbolic use of human and animal imagery. Specialising in stoneware ceramics, her unique textures are achieved using her signature combination of dry glazes and oxides.
She currently lives in Central London.
