It is not always the loudest, the biggest, the noisiest, or the dominant, which hold the key to life.
For 27 years, Lida’s art has been a bold defiance against the culture of dominance and fragmentation. While the mainstream fixates on provocation, her work offers an intervention: creating space to truly see, feel, and be.
Rooted in neuroaesthetics and energy psychology, her floral paintings represent a necessary shift toward an art world that prioritizes restoration, depth, and genuine human connection.

Her early life, marked by the complexities of post-revolution Iran and subsequent displacement, instilled in her a profound understanding of trauma and resilience. This experience became the bedrock of her artistic inquiry, leading her to explore how art could serve not as a mirror to chaos, but as a source of solace and inner strength.
This journey has taken her from international diplomatic circles, where she has been an advocate for peace, to collaborations with scientists and psychologists, deepening the foundations of Florescencism as a trauma-sensitive artistic practice.
Florescencism: The Art Movement
A 21st-century evolution in art, offering a blueprint for our emotional and ethical future. Grounded in neuroscience, Florescencism reshapes art into a trauma-sensitive experience that soothes the nervous system in a world driven by stress and disconnection.
