Lina Condes, a contemporary American artist of European descent, is renowned for her stick figure sculptures. She earned her MFA in Fine Arts, Interior, and Furniture Design from Kiev University of Technology and Design. Growing up in the countryside of Cherkasy City, she was immersed in a family of physics and math professors, which fostered her early fascination with industrial materials for sculpting.

Condes' work is conceptually situated at the intersection of heaviness and lightness, as well as high and low art. Her sculptures, crafted from common industrial materials like stainless steel, fiberglass, wood, and stone, aim to portray the emotional and mental experiences of modern individuals authentically. Inspired by the Italian Renaissance, she draws from the anatomical studies of masters such as Giorgio Vasari and Leonardo Da Vinci, utilizing contemporary technologies to reimagine traditional figurative sculpture.

Central to Condes' artistic exploration is "mental states," which encompass a spectrum of emotions and psychological conditions. She blends materials, shapes, and colors to capture these states, treating metal and wood with the reverence typically reserved for bronze and marble in classical sculpture.
