Born in 1945 in Colombes, France, of Turkish and Armenian mother tongues, to which were added French, Spanish and English, Aïda Kebadian began in the early 1960s to make gouaches in the solitude of her room at her parents' house until the day when her brother Jacques Kebadian discovered them and pushed her to show them. She had her first exhibition in 1973 at Atelier Jacob-Galerie Hors-les-Normes, a famous Parisian space supported by Jean Dubuffet.
Encouraged, Aïda Kebadian continued the exhibitions and flew to Mexico in 1987 as part of the «Villa Médicis hors les murs». Her dreamlike universe is enriched by the South American spirit, its ancestral rites, with a more vivid and contrasting palette, always aspiring to daydreaming. She is close to many painters and writers: Jean-Pierre Bertrand, Ipousteguy, Loïc le Groumellec, Komet, Topor, Jérôme Fonchain, Erick Dietman, Arrabal, Michel Butel, Pierre Guyotat and Gilles Sandier.
