She lives and works in Miami and Kiev. She received her BA and her Masters in Design (Honors) from the Kyiv National University of Technologies and Design. A former contestant for the Miss Ukraine beauty pageant, Condes has chosen to divert her attention and talents toward contemporary art. As an artist of a new generation, she utilizes a wide range of mediums and tools to create strikingly modern visual compositions. Painting, sculpture, graphic design, videography, and fashion are her instruments, where she freely expresses her emotions and a perception of the world.
Her colourful, flat, and hysterical subject matter makes her work an interesting adaptation of contemporary issues.

Condes’s work displays attributes of Feminist context, Minimalism, Surrealism, and Pop Art, infused with autobiographical, psychological, and sexual content. Condes speaks about her own intimate experiences, about humans, the internal life of the feminine being — things that touch us, directly. The eternal conflict called «male and female relationships» is splayed out, ready for Pop consumption. This is story about Humans.
She selects language that is both informative and primitive, emphasizing a modern model of perception — not leaving a single shred of unnecessary visual information. This is where her «know-how» originates — «little men» inspired by infographics.
For Venice project , Lina Condes presents a major new piece of work, ‘Sphinx’. This is an interactive sculpture, the fusion of an active eye on a stylised body that observes its surroundings possibly benignly, possibly malevolently.
iSculpture
iSculpture is a series of works using the genre of contemporary technological and multimedia developments.
Her work gives shape to compositions where technology and architecture move beyond simply being the medium of creation. Instead, the installations, drawings, animated images and projections interact with our individual perceptions to generate unique reactions. This practice results in powerful pieces that are able to translate moods, sensations, emotions, and reflections, bringing the spectator close to the soul of their creator.
Technology, which is symbiotically entwined with art, has always influ- enced artistic creation, establishing new possibilities of expression and, in return, helping develop technological progress, both practically and aesthetically.
