Lyra Zhu
The King
Graduated from the Oil Painting Department at Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, where she studied under the guidance of renowned Chinese oil painters Runwen Guo and Jianquan Che. She also had the privilege of collaborating with Zhengyun Lai and Mingzhi Hu on the large-scale oil painting “Songs of the West,” which was exhibited at the First Meeting Room of Ziguang Pavilion in Zhongnanhai. Lyra has received numerous awards from painting competitions held in both China and Australia.
Her artistic approach is deeply rooted in realism, but it goes beyond mere representation. For Lyra, art is a means of exploring the complex emotions and delicate interplay between humans and nature. She believes that the beauty of art lies not just in its form, but in its ability to evoke thought and reflection. Her works aim to reveal the quiet moments where nature and humanity meet, creating images that are both thought-provoking and emotionally resonant. Through subtle yet powerful compositions, she captures the authenticity of life, bringing attention to the hidden beauty in the mundane.
