Lucy Ballet (°2003, Hasselt, BE) is a multidisciplinary artist working across photography, bookmaking, art direction and choreography. Her work explores themes of identity, the human psyche, and the tension between vulnerability and strength, blending conceptuality with a bold, dynamic visual language. Drawing from her background as a ballet dancer, she brings a choreographic sensitivity to her images, where movement becomes a metaphor for emotional and psychological depth. Her artistic process bridges the physical and the poetic, often merging humor with existential reflection.

With a deep interest in storytelling, Lucy Ballet constructs layered narratives that resonate on both personal and societal levels. Her work delves into pressing issues such as emotional expression, the human relationship with pain, and the humanity hiding behind our consumer society, blending subtle humor with profound depth. She thus invites viewers to reconsider the ordinary and to approach life’s heaviness with a sense of wonder and levity.

Currently studying Photography within the Academic Visual Arts program at LUCA School of Arts, campus C-mine in Genk (BE) Lucy Ballet continues to shape her artistic voice. Her work invites a reimagining of how we engage with pain, impermanence, and the beauty of imperfection, always with a wink toward the absurd.
