Lupa was born in California in 1989 and received her BA in Womenswear from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in 2012. She is currently based in Taipei.
Her practice revolves around a resonance from afar and a simulation of origins. Through scribbling, traveling, and recording dreams, she gathers material and allows it to incubate over time, gradually forming her own totemic language and narrative structure. For her, art is a path of exploration and healing.
Her work often constructs surreal and symbolic sites where lived experiences and dreams are transformed into scenes. Figures emerge through sensuous, primal contours, tracing psychological and archetypal states. Compositions frequently carry a quiet stage-like presence, inviting an exchange between image and viewer.
Her practice spans a range of media, including oil painting, ink, ceramic sculpture, weaving, dyeing, and printmaking. While materials shift across projects, a certain expressive continuity persists within the fluidity of form. A subtle atmosphere and trajectory unfold through her work, moving between lived experience, imagination, and inner landscapes.

1989 年出生,2012 年畢業於倫敦中央聖馬丁藝術與設計學院女裝設計系,現定居台北創作。
她的創作圍繞著遠方的召喚與對起源的模擬。透過隨手書寫與塗畫、旅行與夢境記錄,她累積素材,並讓其在時間中孵化,逐步形成屬於自身的圖騰語境與敘事結構。對她而言,藝術是一條探索與療癒的途徑。
她的作品常建構出帶有象徵性的超現實場域,將生活經驗與夢境轉化為具體場景。人物以原始而感性的輪廓浮現,觸及心理與原型層面的狀態。構圖往往帶有靜謐的舞台感,使觀看成為畫面與觀者之間的一種交流。
她的創作包含油彩、水墨、陶塑、編織、印染、刻印等媒材。媒材雖隨計畫轉換,但在形式的流動之中,仍保有某種表述的慣性;一種微妙的氣息與軌跡,在生活經歷、想像與內在景觀之間持續展開。
