Lucy Tezier, born in 1993 in San Salvador, is a French artist based in Brussels. Over the past six years, Lucy has developed her signature floral motifs, repeatedly engaging flowers and plants as central figures in her work — a reflection of her fascination with the natural world.

In the studio, Lucy works with representation and abstraction, embracing the physicality of painting. The process itself — layering, covering, reworking — is central to her practice, where each canvas becomes a site of both memory and repair. Her paintings emerge through autobiographical meditations, forming an intimate dialogue with the material itself.

In September 2019, a pivotal moment occurred during a residency at Schmidli Backdrops in Los Angeles, a studio known for its large-scale hand-painted photography backdrops. On a stretched canvas over seven meters long, Lucy painted her first Flower Field, exploring a new relationship to scale, gesture, and landscape. California — with its expansive light, deserts, and untamed nature — has since become a recurring source of inspiration.

Influenced by her cosmopolitan education, from San Salvador to Nouakchott, New Delhi, Los Angeles, she moved to France aged 18, where she earned degrees in Applied Art, both in Fashion and Textile Design at the School of Art and Design ENSAAMA (Paris). She expanded her aim for painting as an artist's assistant in Paris, before pursuing her own fine-art practice.

Her last exhibition, Passage d’enfer, took place at 35/37, the previous incarnation of Dover Street Market in Le Marais. Her first solo exhibition, Flowers are calling your name, was on view from April 18th to May 18th, 2025, at Gallery41 (Brussels).
