Artist Statement
Lisa Braid is an artist who lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Working primarily with oil paint, she moves between abstract and figurative imagery. Exploring the uncanny and a sense of irritation, her figures often appear to dissolve or conceal themselves. They are caught between the desire to be seen and the vulnerability that comes with visibility. At times she uses playful and humorous elements in order to disrupt the depicted unease with moments of lightness. Within this framework, Lisa reflects themes of fear, shame, uncertainty, and the shifting dynamics of relationships and emotions. Everyday social encounters, personal experiences, and observations of her surroundings find their way into her paintings, transforming subjective experiences into shared ones..
Lisa currently studies painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. In 2023 she graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Art Education from the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. In 2025 she took part in the Art School Aliance at HFBK in Hamburg, Germany.
