The White Lilies of Marrakech

In this evocative body of work, Lana Khayat invites us into a world where thread, memory, and silence become tools of transformation. The Lilies of Marrakech draws inspiration from the soul of the city itself, a place of rhythm, ritual, and reverence.

At the heart of these paintings is the lily. Traditionally a symbol of purity and mourning, here it becomes something deeper and more personal. It speaks of resistance, of quiet strength, of blooming despite the dust. In Khayat’s hands, the lily becomes both talisman and testimony. Her canvases unfold like fields, layered with pigment, stitch, and breath. Each work is a meditation on nature, not as something observed, but as something embodied. There is a sense of the sacred in every mark, a reverence for fragility, and a bold insistence on beauty. The Lilies of Marrakech is not only a celebration of place, but also of process. It reflects Khayat’s ongoing dialogue with the feminine, the ancestral, and the unseen. These are works that do not shout. They listen. They carry stories. And they bloom quietly with power.
