Fibres Artistiques
A graduate of History of Art/Archeology and Visual Arts, Lia grew up by the ocean (French Basque country) in a very pronounced Beach/Surf culture.
​
A DNA that nourishes her work and approach.
​
At a very young age, she discovered a passion for thread and knitted her first sweater at 13 years old. A practice that has never left her, that she has nurtured, over the years, by expanding her techniques (crochet, weaving, embroidery....) Her watchword and medium, : Thread, in all its forms.
​
​
All my pieces are uniques,
handmade by me in 100% naturals threads.
​
they are the extension and continuity of ancestral practices which have always fascinated me and which I see as a not so distant echo of ancient civilizations, an invisible link that binds us through the ages
Lia grow up in the Basque country and live now in Montréal, Canada.
In the vibrant tapestry of contemporary artistry, few threads are woven as intricately and passionately as those by Lia. With a canvas that spans the spectrum from the tactile warmth of fibers to the dynamic hues of an ever-evolving palette, this artist's journey from childhood fascination to a beacon of creative innovation is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her work, a harmonious blend of weaving, crochet, knitting, and embroidery, emerges not merely as craft but as a profound exploration of intuition, color, and the serendipity of creation.
Educated in the rich histories of art and archaeology, the artist brings a depth of understanding and appreciation for the ancient civilizations that underpin her work. Yet, her narrative extends beyond the loom and the dye pot.
Years immersed in the high fashion industry, entrepreneurship in the quaint locales of southern France, and even a tenure as a DJ, have all been chapters in a life lived at the confluence of creativity and innovation. However, it's in her unceasing engagement with threads—those basic yet boundless mediums of expression—that her true essence is revealed.
​
Lia's work transcends the mere act of creation. It is a dialogue with the material world, a celebration of life's textures, and a journey into the very heart of color and form. In her commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability, and the sheer joy of creation, she offer a refreshing counterpoint to the industrialized norm. Her work is not just to be observed but to be experienced, a reminder of the profound connections we can form with the clothes we wear and the stories they tell.
In an age where authenticity and sustainability are increasingly cherished, the artist's vision offers a beacon of hope and inspiration. It's a reminder that, in the right hands, the threads of tradition and innovation can be woven into something truly extraordinary.
