Lissette Solórzano attended the San Alejandro School of Fine Art in 1986.
Solórzano specializes in black and white photographs taken in the street, in her native island, Cuba.
In 1992, she began showing her personal work in an exhibition called Fantasmas efímeros y otras imagines (Ephemeral Ghosts and other images) at the Fototeca of Cuba.
Thanks to this exhibition, she won the “Photographic Essay Prize” of the Casa de las Américas in 1994.
For her El Ferrocarril exhibition in 2002, galleries were outfitted with train tracks and resonated with music and sound effects.
She travels across the world, and her work is exhibited in Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, Spain and the United States.
Solorzano also did a collaborative project with another Cuban photographer, Jose Marti, and James Quine and Theresa Segal of St. Augustine.
Within this collaboration, Solorzano's contribution was uniquely stylistic, having an emphasis on linear, diagonal elements.
