More about Louisa L:
Louisa L. is a French contemporary visual artist living in New York City. Her work has been exhibited in Times Square for Best of France, the largest event in the world dedicated to French culture, and one of her paintings, representing the Eiffel Tower, is now at the Elysée Palace as part of the collection of Brigitte Macron. Collectors of Louisa L.’s artworks are in the U.S., Europe, China and Morocco.
Louisa L. created NewYorkHer, a unique art project combining painting and augmented reality to tell the stories of ten extraordinary New York immigrant women from different ethnicities. The NewYorkHer exhibit went across 2019 and was received with great success in New York, Cleveland, Dallas and Atlanta, and was featured on the PIX11 TV news.
“We have entered an era where supporting each other is more important than it has ever been, and where contributing to the community we live in has become inherent to who we are and what we stand for. I am using painting and technology to tell stories behind the canvas. Through the NewYorkHer project I created in 2019, I saw how my art had a positive impact on people, and on young women in particular, bringing them self-confidence. My abstract and semi-abstract work, filled with light, conveys a universal message of freedom, love, resilience, multiculturalism and most of all, peace. Both the female and earth presence in my art are here to represent the source of life, humanity and diversity, and serve as a healing process. And the colors I am using are showing that life is not that dark after all.”
