Liliana Ojeda is a visual artist and contemporary jeweller who lives and works in Santiago, Chile. She has a bachelor’s degree in Fine Arts and an MA in Jewellery & Silversmithing from the UCE in Birmingham, United Kingdom. Her work has been awarded the Seal of Excellence in Craftsmanship by the Government of Chile. She has exhibited in various countries across Europe and Latin America. She was a finalist for the Enjoia’t Awards in Barcelona and received the first honourable mention at the 1st Latin American Contemporary Jewellery Biennial. She was a founder and vice-president of Joya Brava, the Chilean contemporary jewellery association. She is recognised for her innovative and artistic approach to art jewellery and has developed a practice that blurs the boundaries between sculpture, jewelry, and installation art.

Liliana's work combines traditional techniques with avant-garde design, exploring the relationship between the body, identity, and the environment. Through carefully selected materials—such as porcelain, ceramics, and dried fruit—Liliana has expanded her practice from jewelry to sculpture and installation, seeking to convey emotions and narratives while transforming craft into a vehicle for personal and cultural expression. “My work invites a questioning of the boundaries between ornament and art, proposing a reflection on the meaning and function of jewelry in contemporary society and fostering a dialogue between craftsmanship and art.
