In 2008, she launched her own jewellery line which integrated painting and poetry. Her latest collection, in 2011, is inspired by the female form. She takes this collection as part of her combat for freedom, respect for the dignity and beauty of life, as well as freedom of expression in art. Lida is committed to make visible a softness which she feels is suppressed in a world dominated by the power of warfare.
Lida was born in Iran (the old Persia) in 1977, and experienced a childhood of war time under the newly formed regime. The oppressive conditions imposed by the government and the harshness of war left a strong impact on her, prompting a strong passion to get others to stop such conditions and opt for more respectful relations where people enjoy the warmth of each other's presence. Her interest in art started at the tender age of 3 years old. She moved to the island of Malta with her family in 1991 and studied at the School of Art under the tutorship of a known Maltese painter Anthony Calleja by the age of 19. She also has degrees in International Relations.
Lida is a multitalented artist, who creates paintings and jewelry as miniature sculptures. Lida's poetry has also been well appreciated around the world. She started her art path by creating paintings with messages. She has connected her works to grassroots and international organisations working in the fields of peace and human rights. Her works have traveled to 15 countries and been published by major bodies such as Amnesty International, UN, UNESCO and others. While based in Malta, in 2004, she wrote "Humanitarian Art Manifesto", designed to create a synergy among artists who share the same line of commitment in their art creations. Her manifesto has been translated into 7 languages and signed by artists from 22 countries. In 2006, Lida established a base also in Paris, where her painting evolved in style and was presented at several galleries, salons and auctions. Impressed by the creation energy of Paris, Lida branched out from her painting and began designing for different jewellery and silverware companies in France. Her design works were presented at important international salons in Paris and got to the winning table of France's Championships of the Art of Table Wear.
