Artistic Journey
John Ligda’s body of work has been developed in a particularly nomadic and collaborative way: it comes from drawing live models, performing onstage, many times during travels or hosting travelers. As a result of his versatile and culturally open artistic attitude, his oeuvre belongs to collections all over the globe.
