Biography

Lydia Lhote Lazaar is a French-Algerian visual artist born in Tunisia.

After an initial career in fashion, she turned to art, working alongside established artists and developing an approach that blends traditional techniques with contemporary innovations. Her work explores identity, duality, and memory through mosaics made of recycled glass, ceramic, and resin.

She creates unique pieces and also collaborates with artisans to create limited collections, combining craftsmanship and poetic storytelling. Her vibrant world, imbued with intense colors and playful forms, gives life to original and joyful works that invite the viewer into the realm of imagination.

From her masks to her organic sculptures like The Shield, Lydia plays with textures and light to tell stories, building bridges between past and future, and inviting everyone to dream. Between craftsmanship and contemporary art, between reality and illusion, her work becomes a sensitive passage, offering each viewer a fragment of poetry to take away.

Through her creations, Lydia questions how identities are constructed and transformed by movements, whether geographical or internal, exploring what connects us to our roots and to others in a world in perpetual change.
