Liesbeth Piena (Waalre,1993) is a Dutch painter. Living and working in Arnhem. 

“There is great clarity as well as a push and pull between fore- and background, between flatness and depth, between recognition and abstraction. A point of interest in Piena’s paintings is the moment where a motif loses its straightforwardness and instead becomes open to different readings. To reach this stage, the motif has been moed around, reshaped, inverted, or extended, until there is a constellation that has both balance and ambivalence.” – Jurriaan Benschop
