About Lara J. Trad
Lara J. Trad is an internationally recognized visual artist, surrealist painter, and art life coach whose work traverses the poetic and the psychological. Known for emotionally resonant imagery and metaphor-rich storytelling, she has exhibited in Italy, Spain, the USA, Georgia, Lebanon, Canada, and Hungary.
Her signature style fuses surrealism with figurative art to depict inner battles, fragmented memory, and existential longing. Whether working in oil or digital media, her pieces evoke a visceral stillness—as if time is paused mid-thought.
She has exhibited widely, with solo and group shows in cities including Vancouver, Venice, Madrid, Tbilisi, Budapest, New York, Miami, and Byblos. She was invited to serve as a juror for an international contemporary art exhibition, recognizing her growing voice within the global art scene.
Her practice emerged from an early impulse to encode private thoughts into cryptic visual gestures—what she later learned to recognize as a personal form of surrealism. Over the years, she has developed a signature aesthetic where faceless figures, anatomical forms, and symbolic metaphors interact in stark contrast against darkness and negative space.
Working across both traditional and digital platforms, Lara’s art explores the emotional and philosophical terrains of identity, memory, and transformation. Her visual language—rooted in surreal figuration and psychological symbolism—bridges raw emotional states with dreamlike compositions, placing the human form at the center of internal unraveling.
