Marian Ichaso Lefeld's paintings navigate the charged space between physical geography and political history — specifically, the Venezuela that modernism built and oil wealth transformed. Her work traces the midcentury architecture that rose simultaneously across Caracas and American cities, a shared utopian language now spoken differently on each side: thriving in one, fractured in the other.

Working across oil paint, printmaking, and installation, her work has been exhibited at the Latino Cultural Center in Dallas, Southern Methodist University, the Wright Gallery at the Langford School of Architecture at Texas A&M, and in Caracas, Venezuela. She completed a four-month residency at the Taller de Artistas Gráficos Asociados (TAGA) in Caracas.
