About
Lyly Dhommar (b. 1985) is a self-taught painter based near Paris.
Inspired by artists such as Munch, Hammershoi and Van Gogh, Dhommar discovered oil painting and pastels in 2020, evolving from small watercolours with muted tones to bold and vibrant landscapes. She paints instinctively, focusing on capturing a feeling through minimalist composition and a limited palette.
Her introversion and experiences with anxiety deeply influence her artistic vision. Empty landscapes, filled with lonely silhouettes or houses, are recurring motifs in her work, echoing spaces barely touched by human presence. The signs of life are subtle and uncertain. These elements interweave to create an atmosphere of silence, stillness, and safety—a space where self-exploration and solitude become possible.
Dhommar sees her work as a tool to explore her inner world while creating room for viewers to form their interpretations from a contemplative distance.
