About the Artist
Lia Vio is an artist, based in Düsseldorf and London working at the intersection of fine art and interiors, creating high-end murals and wallcoverings that transform painting into architectural experience. Her collections begin as hand-painted originals in oil and watercolor on canvas and are also developed digitally, preserving the nuance of the brush while enabling large-scale, site-specific application.
​
Her visual language is shaped by a cross-disciplinary education in photography, graphic design, and contemporary art.​ Her practice has been presented in both solo and group exhibitions, as well as festivals and art fairs internationally across France, the UK, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, Germany, and the United States. She continues to collaborate within premium interior design contexts worldwide.
​
Today, Lia Vio creates wall-based works that feel both intimate and monumental, designed to shape atmosphere, hold narrative, and turn spaces into living canvases.
