LE SAHARA BY LYDIA COURTEILLE

Sahara Lydia Courteille's new collection.

First of all, Lydia Courteille Is an inspirational woman. Also, every encounter, every journey nourishes her universe. So, it is in the desert of the Algerian Tassili that she draws her latest collection, Sahara.

This is how one can walk there for hours without encountering a living soul. One only encounters the footprints of a few enigmatic blue scarabs, or the strange red silhouettes painted on the rocky walls of the Séfar plateau.

It should be noted that these drawings date from 9 to 10,000 years before Christ. They depict animals and scenes from everyday life in an era when the Sahara was a fertile and lush land. Indeed, we see characters dancing in an enigmatic manner, probably due to their ritual costumes and masks.

For example, let us contemplate the blue scarab, a symbol of luck. This blue color is also found in the clothing of the Tuaregs who traverse these arid territories.

Moreover, Lydia Courteille It combines the blue opal from Australia with gold, topazolites with diamonds and sapphires. Moreover, through this dreamlike, bi-chromatic journey of yellow and blue, Lydia also takes us on a journey to meet surprising animals, such as this snake necklace or this spider necklace.

Without ever forgetting that beneath this apparent stillness lies another universe.
