- Appointed Most Worthy Artist of El Salvador, honor confered by the Asamblea Legislativa, in February 2004.
Since 1994, she devotes herself to the preservation and restoration of works of art.
Licry Bicard has an extensive trajectory, participating in multiple exhibitions. She is an innovator, hard to classify, because she constantly blends different techniques and disciplines of universal art. The changes, sometimes complete of subjects and techniques, tend to disconcert the spectator, but there is something in her work that we have to understand: her experimental search for form and matter is endless.
Her work can be found in the following collections: Banco Agrícola - Banco Cuscatlán - Museo Forma ( Fundación Julia Díaz) - Tabacalera Salvadoreña - Museo del Sitio Arqueológico Joya de Cerén – private collections.
Bicard lives and works in her own atelier in El Salvador.
