Lucienne Olivieri (1910–2007) was a French painter, renowned for her talent and unique style. She played an important role in the art world in the 20th century, notably through her practice of painting and lithography.

Youth and training
Trained in the 1930s in contact with the avant-garde, although her training was largely self-taught. She was immersed in a stimulating cultural environment and developed a particular sensitivity to form, color, and geometry, elements she integrated into her artistic creations.

Artistic career
Lucienne Olivieri worked in several artistic fields, but she mainly distinguished herself in painting and lithography. Her work is situated within a modernist approach, and she was particularly interested in abstraction and geometric forms. Her works were often marked by influences of Cubism and Constructivism, and she was influenced by artistic movements of the time while seeking to explore her own vision of the world.

Exhibitions
Her works have been shown in numerous galleries and museums in France and abroad. Lucienne Olivieri had several solo exhibitions in Paris, notably at Galerie Pierre Domec in the 1970s, where she could present her lithographs and abstract paintings. Her creations were well received by critics, and she became a respected figure in the Paris art scene.

Her work evolved from the Cubism of the 1930s, influenced by André Lhote, toward figuration in the manner of the School of Paris, before finally moving toward geometric abstraction of Suprematist inspiration.
