About the Artist

Ileana Moro is a multidisciplinary artist of Cuban and Nicaraguan heritage, was born in Costa-Rica and currently based in Antwerp, Belgium. Her practice explores emotional and psychological landscapes through painting, approaching the canvas as a form of visual diary and reflection on inner life.

The absence of human figures in her work does not signify absence of humanity; rather, she paints the emotional weather of being human — the storms, the silences, the twilight moods that pass through all of us. Her canvases can be read as portals to the soul’s inner climate.

A spiritual undercurrent runs through her work. Through the interplay of shadow and light, she evokes the liminal spaces where the sacred might enter, creating thresholds.

Guided by intuition, her process allows spontaneity, fluidity, and the rise of subconscious material, producing works that hover between control and surrender. By honoring mystery rather than explanation, her paintings remain open-ended, emotionally charged, and resonant with the hidden dimensions of life.

Ileana Moro’s solo exhibitions include presentations at KAR Studio (China, 2023), Lera Treyger (Belgium, 2024), and Himera (Romania, 2025). Her work has been featured in group exhibitions across Belgian galleries such as Grege and Ballroom (2023), Ave, Francis Maere, and 22Muse (2024), and Verduyn (2025) as well as at Antwerp Art Weekend 2025.
