Loucia Carlier (b. 1992, Paris) is a French artist and editor. She graduated with a Master's degree in Visual Arts – European Art Ensemble from the École cantonale d’art de Lausanne in 2017.

Her practice lies between sculpture and painting, combining techniques such as embossing, molding, and printing. Her works bring together symbols, objects, and fragments to form complex hybrid landscapes that explore post-human narratives and speculative cosmologies. Through a network of archetypal images and organic motifs, she reflects on the entangled relationship between the body and its environment, addressing contemporary anxieties linked to capitalism, patriarchy, and ecological collapse. Her compositions often include caves, architectural remnants, and body parts, intersecting with imagery drawn from medicine, ufology, and psychedelia. Sometimes enhanced with makeup, her pieces resemble reactive skins—vulnerable surfaces shaped by inner tensions and external pressures. Alongside her artistic practice, she has co-directed the independent journal Klima since 2018. Dedicated to the intersection of contemporary artistic creation, academic research, social sciences, politics, and activist knowledge.

Her work is regularly featured in solo and group exhibitions (Le Nouveau Printemps in Toulouse, CAC Brétigny, Salon de Montrouge, Villa Belleville, Swiss Art Awards, Ateliers de la Ville de Marseille, Forde, Centre d’art contemporain de Genève, Villa Noailles, Villa Emerige, High Art, Ferme de la Chapelle, Wallriss, Hamlet Zurich, Art:Concept, Artgenève, Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lausanne, among others).
