I Was Like You, You Will Become Like Me

Lidya is an International, Armenian artist born in Lebanon. Obtained her degree, Masters Of Fine Arts from ALBA (Academie Libanaise des Beaux-Art), where she has been lecturing since 1989. Since then never lending herself to derisive exercises, but creating different dimentions, refusing to create sarcastic objects destined for bourgeois. For her the inequalities and the particularities of a condition cannot define its fundamental truth.

To translate the profound equality of beings, she captures them in their uniqueness and universality. Blending drama and beauty through the ever deepening of a language in which only her subconscious varies. Creating a work in which life and painting blend in a perfect existenntial poem.

Her work has been showcased in various prestigious exhibitions,
Forum of Beirut; organized by Cultural Center of France for Middle Eastern Artists,
Hotel Riviera for the 50th Anniversary of LOGH,
The 50th Anniversary of Armenian Artists' Existentialism in Lebanon,(Les Artistes Armeniens 50 Ans Au Liban),

EIRENE is the Goddess of peace in Greek mytholodgy
She is seating on the right corner of the painting, disappointed, looking in your eyes asking for help to accomplish peace on earth

A sad story
When a lady is killed by an unknown car
Crossing the street to buy milk for her babies
Leaving behind her three precious pearls to decorate the life she left
Homage to the lady
