Qinglu Liu (Lukas)

My work is deeply rooted in the exploration of identity, culture, and the intersection of the natural and the digital. My artistic journey began in my early years, influenced by a fascination with both traditional and modern forms of expression. Growing up in China and living in Dubai for 10 years, I was drawn to the contrasts between Eastern philosophies and Western ideologies, which became a central theme in my work.

My style is often characterized by surreal and symbolic imagery, blending elements of pop culture, science fiction, and Eastern iconography. The recurring figures in my work—such as the Penguin and the Astronaut Deer—serve as metaphors for the human condition, questioning our place in a rapidly changing world. These characters, while playful and whimsical, reflect deeper themes of isolation, exploration, and the search for meaning in an increasingly complex society.

Over the years, I’ve honed a unique visual language that balances the abstract and the figurative, merging traditional techniques with contemporary digital media. My use of vibrant colors and dynamic compositions is intended to provoke thought and evoke emotional responses, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences and the broader global narrative.

At the heart of my practice is a desire to bridge cultural divides, creating works that speak to both local and global audiences. I am particularly interested in how art can transcend geographical boundaries, bringing people together through shared human experiences. Whether through painting, digital art, or mixed media, my work is a continuous conversation with both the past and the future, the tangible and the intangible.

Throughout my career, I have been constantly evolving, learning from each new project and each new encounter with my audience. My work is never static; it grows and shifts in response to the world around me, pushing the boundaries of my creativity while remaining anchored in my core beliefs and values. Ultimately, I see my art as a journey—a way to explore the ever-changing landscape of human existence, both personal and collective.
