Through the timeless medium of oil paint Lu creates paintings that delve into the realms of human consciousness, nature, and symbolism.

With pieces that range from dreamlike landscapes to thought-provoking figures, Lu's artistry reflects a profound engagement with the mysteries of existence. Her exhibitions and artistic journey highlight a commitment to exploring and challenging the boundaries of visual expression.
Illuminating the Surreal
Lu's goal is to illuminate the unseen and provoke thought through captivating visual narratives. Lu strives to create artworks that resonate with audiences, inviting them to contemplate the interplay of reality and imagination. Each piece is crafted with passion and intention, aiming to inspire a sense of wonder and connection.
"With my paintings I attempt to force the viewers gaze inwards to question
hidden or suppressed parts — whilst also reminding us all that we are intimately connected." Lu
Eyes are a recurring motif, appearing in unexpected places—within seashells, nestled in flowers, or floating in bubbles. More than just organs of sight, these eyes represent the eternal Witness. They are the gaze of pure consciousness, of absolute reality looking back at itself. Through them, the boundary between the inner world of the canvas and the viewer's own mind collapses, compelling us to rest in deep contemplation of our true, undivided nature.
