Bio

Liliam Higa is an interdisciplinary artist whose career is a curiosity-led dialogue between artisanal tradition and innovation. With Ryukyuan-Japanese roots and Brazilian/American cultural backgrounds, her work is both aesthetically striking and functionally adept.Her career journey began in the vibrant landscape of New York City, where she established Lillot, a successful jewelry brand that garnered acclaim from fashion industry tastemakers like Alicia Keys, Christine Barberich, Natalie Suarez and many stylists and editors working with artists and magazine publications. Honing her ability to create forms inspired by nature and architecture into tangible products, she cultivated both an eye for detail and a deep understanding of consumer desires. Returning to the spiritual traditions of her ancestral Ryukyuan culture, this next evolution of her practice is translating spiritual concepts of matriarchy and sisterhood in nature into expressive sculptural forms of dark and light beauty.
