Amara de Lempicka (1898–1980) was a Polish Art Deco painter known for her fashionable and modernistic portraits. The artist was characterized by living in Paris during the interwar years and moving to the U.S., so she came to symbolize the elegance of the Art Deco era. Her work, which was extremely beloved for its bold geometric forms, jewel-like palettes, and sculptural figures, was the result of mixing the abstract of Cubism with the sleek sophistication of her time. Among their legendary works were, for example, Self-Portrait in a Green Bugatti (1929) and Portrait of Madame Boucard (1931), in which themes of wealth, power, femininity, and sensuality were explored.


Her work echoes well with my creative approach as I lay a lot of emphasis on the merger of structure and fluidity. Lempicka is my guide in getting a command of a complex story in a simple yet truly engaging way, just as I reach my objective of creating multi-layered content. For me, the timelessness of her work acts as an impetus to innovate and retain the perpetuity of the designs. Lempicka bears witness to the fact that an artist’s spirit is essential for one’s ability to exceed a certain art form and reach beyond its limited time frame.
