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.
