A Canadian-Armenian multidisciplinary artist, Lousnak was born in Lebanon. At the age of eleven, she fled the civil war, finding refuge first in London, then in Paris, before settling in Montreal in 1982.

A memory activist, Lousnak has made remembrance both a humanitarian and political commitment. For her, the duty of remembrance takes many forms. In the late 1990s, she created Let's Talk Genocides, an event that combines visual and performing arts to raise public awareness of past and present atrocities through artistic expression.

In the series of portraits titled Dessiner pour garder la main agile, she pays tribute to figures who have deeply inspired her. One of her recent works, Drapeaux Blancs, is a participatory installation dedicated to the memory of children killed in armed conflict.

The central themes of her work include Love, Peace, War, and the Environment. Lousnak notably questions Love as a possible response to crises, but also as a vehicle for expression, notably through the reintroduction of the figure of the Goddess of Love in her creations. For over twenty years, she has worked with the same model, developing in-depth research around the representation of the body and emotion.

Her artistic approach is based on the primacy of concept over material. She favors great formal freedom, exploring a variety of supports—stone, paper, clay, and others—chosen according to their suitability for the idea being developed.

“I seek to provoke an emotional response in the viewer, to communicate deep feelings and to provoke sensitive reflection. Art thus becomes a space for dialogue and introspection, allowing the audience to experience and understand complex realities through an aesthetic experience. ” Lousnak
