About me

∆rtist & ∆nthropologist ~ creating art & rituals. 

My name is Lucie Remešová, but over a 20 years ago I’ve got the (artistic) nickname of Lusi Lu, under which I am working and creating.   

I’m focusing predominantly on the stories of motherhood, spirituality and sexuality and my art features almost exclusively female characters who embody them.   

I am also creating commissioned ritualistic artworks, that can have therapeutical effect and help healing traumas, connected especially with the experience of baby loss or death in general. My art exhibitions are sometimes also kind of psychomagical acts with wider message and overlap into spiritual~ritualistic experience. This was the case especially with my ongoing art exhibition series “MotherHood“.

I exhibited besides Czechia also in Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Germany and many more… (as listed here). 
I am using wide combination of techniques and experimenting with different kind of paints, pens and substances on photograph, canvas (or any kind of suitable surface).

I finished anthropology doctorate at the Charles University in Prague. My anthropological education very deeply influences my artistic expression and intersection with rituals, like the farewell ritual, swaddling “rebozo” ritual etc.  
I am also just starting dasein psychotherapy training, which will complement my complex ritualist-artistic work.

I conducted fieldworks in Morocco and in Peru, where I also lived and worked for several years as a tour guide for travel agency Alvarez. I am currently working again as a tour guide, besides Peru also at Costa Rica. 

In years 2020 – 2023 I was also an art director at Beseder Gallery, where I curated and organized art exhibitions and wide range of cultural events, including the art exhibition for the 80th birthday of academical sculptor Kurt Gebauer, two art exhibitions of Otto Placht in cooperation with the Peruvian embassy and many more. 

I also cooperate with care service Zůstat spolu doma (stay together at home) as consultant and canis-felino therapist with my animals.
