I discovered the work of the incredible chinese/american painter on deviantart.com and unlike the most artist there she is a traditional artist who paints with real oil on canvas…! Her paintings are a beautiful and inspitational interpretations of (mostly) women in an spiritual and historical context and shows a very modern and fresh approach to this subject. She is a traditional artist with a profund knowledge of painting techniques and anatomy.
Born in China to a family of artists, she has worked in the US, Canada and Japan as a professional artist and designer since 1983. Jia Lu’s style is about beauty, spirit and wisdom. She describes her career as a process of self-discovery, a search for self-knowledge and a celebration of self- confidence.
You can see her portfolio on deviantart or visit her personal website here.
