Lara J. Trad is making waves on the international art scene, blending oil painting, digital art, and poetic storytelling into a singular creative voice. An award-winning multidisciplinary artist, Trad’s work explores identity, memory, and transformation through powerful visual narratives.
Her art has been exhibited internationally in cities including Vancouver, Venice, Madrid, Tbilisi, Budapest, New York, Miami, and Byblos. In 2024, she was invited to serve as a juror for an international contemporary art exhibition, a role that recognized her growing voice within the global art world.
Working in both oil and digital mediums, Trad creates visceral portraits, surreal dreamscapes, and layered compositions that echo the emotional depth of her writing. Her visual work resonates with the same intensity and introspection found in her acclaimed debut poetry collection, which explores grief, womanhood, and ancestral memory.
“I paint when language stops working. It’s not about what I want to say—it’s about what refuses to stay silent,” says Trad.
With a growing portfolio that challenges traditional artistic boundaries, Lara J. Trad is part of a new wave of contemporary artists bringing bold, emotionally charged perspectives to the international stage.
