Overview
“Naomi sees her work as a dialogue with fragility, where emptiness, balance, and restraint allow deeper emotional truths to emerge.”

Naomi Lautier is a multidisciplinary visual artist whose work explores fragility, time, and the inner emotional landscapes that shape human experience. Through a refined visual language combining symbolic figuration and minimal, meditative compositions, she creates poetic spaces where silence, tension, and stillness become narrative forces.

Her work has been exhibited internationally in museums, biennales, and cultural institutions across Europe and Central Asia, including the 60th Venice Biennale, UN City in Copenhagen, and the Colección Museo Ruso in Málaga. In 2027, she presents major solo exhibitions at the A.

Biography

Naomi Lautier (Paris 2011) is a multidisciplinary visual artist working across painting and conceptual visual practices. Her work investigates themes of fragility, memory, time, and the silent psychological tensions that exist beneath the surface of everyday life. Using a restrained aesthetic and a symbolic visual vocabulary,  including solitary figures, animal forms, suspended elements, and vast negative space, she constructs contemplative environments that balance emotional intensity with formal minimalism. Her compositions often feel suspended in time, where stillness becomes narrative and absence carries as much weight as presence.

Lautier’s practice is grounded in the idea that visual art can function as a space for reflection rather than explanation. Her imagery avoids direct storytelling, instead inviting viewers into open psychological and symbolic readings. The recurring tension between delicacy and resilience, isolation and endurance, defines a body of work that is both intimate and universal.

Her work has been presented internationally in museums, galleries, biennales, and cultural institutions. In 2027, she presents significant solo exhibitions at the A. Kasteyev State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Kazakhstan in Almaty and the Gapar Aitiev Kyrgyz National Museum of Fine Arts in Bishkek. The same year, she participates in CONTENEDOR 2027 in Málaga, a cross-disciplinary platform dedicated to dialogue between visual, photographic, and video art.

Recent institutional highlights include The Beginning, a solo exhibition at the Colección Museo Ruso in Málaga (2024), and The Art of Feeling, a solo exhibition at UN City in Copenhagen (2024). Her work was also featured in MIXING IDENTITIES during the 60th Venice Biennale (2024). Additional exhibitions include presentations in Monaco, Barcelona, Zurich, and Málaga, as well as participation in international charity galas and cultural initiatives that connect art with social engagement.

Across these diverse contexts, Lautier continues to develop a distinctive visual language defined by quiet intensity, symbolic clarity, and emotional depth — a practice that invites viewers not just to look, but to pause, feel, and inhabit the spaces between certainty and vulnerability.
