Rooted in material, memory, and making
LIANA HAKIM
I create large-scale ceramic and mixed media works that explore surface as memory, structure, and presence.
Working with clay, glaze, oil paint, and wood, each piece is entirely hand-formed and built through layering, repetition, and material resistance. The works engage architecture directly, holding space through density, texture, and quiet monumentality.
One-of-a-Kind Forms for the Modern Curator
OFFERINGS
I offer a small, considered range of works — each created with intention, material focus, and respect for process. Whether commissioning a piece or collecting an existing work, every offering is rooted in presence, texture, and emotional resonance.
01. COMMISSIONS
Commissioned works are created through a quiet, collaborative process. Each piece responds to space, feeling, and material, allowing intuition and dialogue to guide the outcome. These works are made slowly and intentionally, resulting in one-of-a-kind objects that hold personal meaning and presence.

02. ORIGINALS
Original works are one-off pieces created through intuitive, material-led exploration. Each artwork carries its own rhythm, surface, and history, shaped by process rather than repetition. These pieces are offered as they are — imperfect, expressive, and complete.
03. LIMITED PRINTS
Prints are carefully selected reproductions of original works, created to retain texture, depth, and tonal nuance. They offer a more accessible way to live with the work, while still holding the spirit and presence of the original piece.
ELEMENTAL
Elemental is a series of moments, patterns, and materials. Each piece emerges through intuitive making, allowing repetition, interruption, and material dialogue to guide the work. The collection reflects a process of noticing, small shifts in texture, form, and rhythm, and holding space for imperfection and presence.
THROUGH THE SURFACE
Through The Surface expands the practice through oil paint, colour, and a more expressive approach to material. The works are guided by emotion and movement, allowing colour, gesture, and surface to interact freely. Moments of play sit alongside intuition, creating pieces that feel lighter, more fluid, and openly responsive — a continuation of the practice with softness, energy, and feeling at the forefront.
