Lilli Marlit is a multidisciplinary artist from Germany, now based in Lisbon, Portugal. As the child of a German mother and a French-Caribbean father, her bi-cultural background has deeply shaped her artistic perspective and the subjects she explores.

She studied visual communication at the Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany, where she obtained her Bachelor's degree. After spending several months in Accra, Ghana to complete her final project, an experience that broadened her creative outlook, she interned at The Three Shadows Photography Art Centre in Beijing, China. Later, she moved to Spain, where she spent four years exploring different artistic disciplines and refining her voice.

Now living and working in Lisbon, Lilli has increasingly brought her practice into the public space through large-scale mural painting and street art, which have become central pillars of her work. She describes her art as “shaped by the space in between,” a concept that reflects themes of identity, duality, and connection, as well as the transitional spaces where she feels most at home.

Her work explores the interconnectedness of all things, creating dialogues between elements that share the same space and belong to a greater whole.

She transforms environments into living compositions that invite viewers to engage, observe, and discover layers that invite contemplation and reveal themselves over time. Her pieces exist in dialogue within themselves, with the spaces and surfaces they inhabit, and their viewers, reflecting both her inner world and the experiences of the women of her generation. At its core, her work is about representation, giving form to a collective sense of in-betweenness, cultural fluidity, and the beauty of constant becoming.

Over the years, Lilli has developed an extensive body of work through collaborations with cultural spaces and events, music and gastronomy projects, and international private commissions, bringing her visual language into a variety of contexts and scales.
