I believe in the power of creativity to spark and be a catalyst for change. My work involves transforming everyday mundane objects and more complex social activities into thought-provoking pieces that shed light on critical social issues. Through my art, I aim to create awareness about mental health, address injustices, and ignite conversations that challenge societal norms. By incorporating elements of surprise and juxtaposition, I strive to engage viewers and encourage them to question the world around them and consider alternative perspectives. With every image, I hope to positively impact and inspire others to join me on this journey of artistic expression and social change.

ETERNAL INNNOCENCE. III  This piece aims to serve as a testament to the collective grief of a community torn apart by violence and warfare, hoping to raise awareness and encourage dialogue about the humanitarian impact of such conflicts. At the centre of the composition are three transparent and delicate fetuses suspended in the air as if floating. Their translucent bodies symbolise the fleeting presence of these unborn lives, caught in the midst of the turmoil.

Quote
Lize Krüger's art encompasses the essence of being a visual commentator and activist, as she adeptly utilises her artistic medium to convey powerful messages and elicit social consciousness.

Through her creative endeavours, Krüger combines striking visual imagery with thought-provoking social and political commentary, resulting in a body of work that is both visually captivating and intellectually stimulating.

Skillfully integrating symbolism, metaphors, and visual storytelling techniques characterises Krüger's artistic approach. Her works possess an inherent ability to communicate compelling narratives and evoke deep emotions within the viewer. Each element  seems purposefully orchestrated, guiding the audience on a visual journey that explores pertinent societal issues.

As an activist, Krüger does not shy away from critically addressing controversial topics or challenging conventional norms. Her art serves as a medium through which she effectively examines and sheds light on various social and political concerns, inviting viewers to reflect on their beliefs and assumptions.

Krüger's identification as a visual commentator and activist signifies her deep commitment to using her artistic prowess as a catalyst for positive transformation.
Lize Kruger‘s artistic process fully explains the simile we propose between alchemists and artists. As an alchemist, Lize Krüger tries to create new worlds, through her works: loss, mental health, and abuse are the main topics of her artistic investigation and she manages to transform these delicate subjects into the divine. Her work reminds us that vulnerability should be embraced and cherished.” - Luca Curci
We are so lucky to be taken into your world of art. It is, not only, challenging, thought-provoking, but also, aesthetically pleasing. Lize your deeply personal and courageous explorations help other souls to start the journey to healing. Thank you.”

He said, "In the midst of hate, I found there was, within me, an invincible love. In the midst of tears, I found there was, within me, an invincible smile. In the midst of chaos, I found there was, within me, an invincible calm. I realized, through it all, that in the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger-something better, pushing right back” - Albert Camus
