La Femme by Picasso


"Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain one when we grow up."
One of the most-recognized figures in 20th century art, Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, print maker, ceramicist and stage designer. Picasso's personal life was as controversial as his work – he was known for his love affairs, often with studio models that became his muses. In La Femme, Picasso portrays a woman's backside with five precisely placed lines, an uncomplicated tribute to woman's physique. We love the juxtaposition of this simple rendering with the detail of an intricate, vintage frame.

Lucie, together with Andre, hold a strong commitment toward good products with environmentally safe ingredients. Here are just a few of the reasons we love these fragrant candles in bright, beautiful packaging: Lucia candles use only 100% pure organic grade essential oils and 100% natural vegetable & botanical hydrating oils.  No mineral oils or petroleum byproducts are used, and only food grade, vegetable based colors are utilized. We can't wait for you to try these aromatic candles. We promise, you're home will never be the same!
