"The passage of time reveals the hidden beauty of architecture."
Nicolás Lisardo creates meticulously constructed urban landscapes that explore architecture as a reflection of time, memory, and human fragility. Working with wood, metal, concrete, oxidation, and mixed media, he recreates decaying buildings and urban fragments as sculptural spaces charged with psychological and philosophical meaning.
His works go beyond the aesthetic fascination for ruin. Through eroded facades, abandoned structures, and architectures marked by disappearance, Lisardo examines the failure of modern utopias, the dehumanization of contemporary society, and the emotional traces left by the spaces we inhabit. His practice transforms urban decay into a contemplative language, inviting viewers to reflect on the relationship between memory, identity, and the built environment.
Rooted in his concept of Neodramatism, Lisardo's work merges architectural memory, existential reflection, and social critique. Inspired by vanitas traditions, post-industrial landscapes, and the tension between construction and destruction, his sculptures function as contemporary monuments to the histories embedded within the spaces around us.
