illy Art Collection Sol Calero

Discover the new collection by the Berlin-based Venezuelan artist, highlighting the beauty & togetherness of the hospitality industry.

The Collection - Everyday items as storytelling tools.

This is why the Sol Calero illy Art Collection takes its colour palette and floral motifs into the area of functional art. Its distinctive aesthetic stems from its exploration of Latin American cultural codes, and blends personal narratives with broader socio-political dialogue. The collection invites you to engage with her work through these specially decorated items, in an intimate size just for the home.

Art as a story of identity

The colourful settings created by Sol Calero combine an expanded painting practice with vernacular architecture, Latin American cultural codes and its diaspora. Her projects explore the illusion that the Caribbean is a paradise, disarming the viewer with a convivial and playful atmosphere, and using a broad visual language to develop a discourse on migration, displacement and identity.
