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

Early life and training
Formed in the 1930s in contact with the artistic avant-garde, although her training was largely self-taught. She grew up in a stimulating cultural environment and developed a particular sensitivity to form, color, and geometry, elements she incorporated into her artistic creations.

Artistic career
Lucienne Olivieri worked in several artistic fields, but she mainly stood out in painting and lithography. Her work is part of a modernist approach, and she was particularly interested in abstraction and geometric forms. Her works were often marked by influences from 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 many 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 presented her abstract lithographs and paintings. Her works 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 turning toward geometric abstraction with supra-mediate inspiration.
