In this episode of Out of the Clouds, host Anne V. Mühlethaler welcomes artist and creator Lucia Dami for a deep dive into her creative journey, the exploration of archetypes and her connection to the divine feminine. Lucia, a Geneva-raised artist now residing in London, has been described by Surface magazine as “a visionary creator who channels the mystery and fluidity of the feminine into evocative works of art.” Her unique approach blends symbolism, spirituality and storytelling to create a profound resonance with her audience.
Lucia’s work, including her highly sought-after sacred portrayals and sacred avatar commissions, invites women to see themselves reflected through a lens of empowerment and magic. Her art is not only visually striking but serves as a healing, connected practice, honouring the subtle energy, fluidity and depth of the divine feminine.
Lucia and Anne were put in touch by their friend, the artist Julia Astok, and synchronicity was at play when Julia came to meet Anne in Geneva for one of her salons. This coincided with the dates when Lucia wanted to get her new tarot deck, the Elysian Tarot, photographed for its Kickstarter campaign.
In Anne and Lucia’s conversation, the two dive into Lucia’s backstory, from a childhood spent in her own world, to finding it hard to connect with herself in her teenage years, then discovering Jung and tarot before going off to London to study at Goldsmiths, University of London. Lucia shares how a health crisis was the catalyst for renewal to a sense of connection with her feminine energy and, most importantly, her body. This paved the way for the work she is now doing, both as an artist, tarot reader and workshop facilitator.
Together, Anne and Lucia discuss the origins and creation of The Elysian Tarot, starting with Lucia’s meet-cute with tarot. She explains how the project is both a personal odyssey and a tool for self-discovery. Lucia shares how a health crisis got her to reconnect with her body, spirit and creative essence. Anne asks Lucia to talk about the role of Jungian archetypes in her workshops, and how the divine feminine in all its form become a guide to women throughout their lives.
The pair ends the conversation on Lucia’s understanding of the transformative power of creativity as a bridge between the unseen and the seen.
