Carmen Lazar

Carmen Lazar was born in Romania, a once verdant place, deprived of its color by a repressive political regime. She moved to Israel with her family when she was an infant. In stark contrast to what might have been, Carmen became a desert creature; always barefoot, seeing, feeling, listening to the sound of the sun, the sand, the songs that were her childhood. From a very early age Carmen was compelled to make things; she needed to interpret sensory information into art. As a young woman she painted, she designed jewelry, she arranged flowers, always bringing her joy in the natural world to her work. In her 20s Carmen moved to California and married her husband, Gary Lazar. Inspired by her love of animals Carmen thought about becoming a vet. While she was considering her options, she became pregnant. Four years ago, her children grown, Carmen began working with a physical therapist whose manipulation of skeleton, muscle, and flesh awakened Carmens curiosity about anatomy. As has always been her pattern, she went back to work, looking for a way to express something of what she knew intellectually and intuitively. The result is her sculpture: strong, kinetic, true to her understanding of the human body, and the human spirit. To no ones surprise the pieces are spiritual, aspirational, and a tribute to wisdom and strength.
Carmen continues to live in Los Angeles, with Gary, her children Ethan and Lyssa, and her dogs. She remains barefoot.
