Lydia Casanova
In my palpable art, I celebrate the past by recovering forgotten objects and papers, creating poignant tributes, like the treasures in our grandmothers' windows.
Biography
Born into a world steeped in art, my first memories are imbued with the vibrant colors of the Saint-Denis School of Plastic Art. It was much more than just a place of learning, it was a crucible of sharing, where different ethnicities and cultures merged to create a unique artistic mosaic. The workshops were my first canvases, where each brushstroke told a story of diversity and creativity.
Alongside my artistic explorations, the melodies of the Conservatory have enveloped my existence. Music, and particularly the harp, weaved subtle notes into the fabric of my artistic education. Each chord was an expressed emotion, each melody an invitation to feel beyond colors and shapes.
My high school years guided me to the classrooms of the prestigious Lycée Renoir in Paris. Plastic art has become not only a subject, but a devouring passion, enriching my visual vocabulary with sophisticated nuances. However, it is above all my nomadic life, my travels across France and the discovery of different cities that have shaped my artistic universe.
My artistic universe, deeply rooted in the creative recovery of old objects and old paper, was born from these nomadic experiences. Each object carries a story, each paper a memory. Beyond the boundaries of artificial intelligence, my art explores raw emotion, celebrating the richness of the past and inviting deep reflection on the preservation of heritage. My artistic work thus becomes an act of preservation, a testimony to our emotional connection with history, traditions and folklore.
Today, my artistic journey continues, an endless web woven of encounters, memories and emotions. Each creation is an invitation to explore beyond colors, to delve into the richness of our common heritage. My art, in perpetual evolution, celebrates the beauty of the ephemeral and the emotional power of our past.
