Cindy Lu's...

drawings, paintings and other media....

Welcome...


I find it to articulate or classify my style in words. Like many artists I like to try new things. Recently I have been experimenting with textures and so the majority of my work is mixed media. I use the layering to accentuate the textures of the paint and the mood of the piece. I work to distill the personal image in the socio political background. I garner inspiration from photography of the early 20th century as well as from the Mexican Renaissance artists.    

   Many of my pieces right now are visual interpretations of my journey through my cultural heritage and the adaptations therein. I have one actual self-portrait but every piece is representative of different facets of my adaptation. Growing up in a small town in Mexico and moving to a large city in the United States gave me a prospectus on religion and tradition. Particularly the societal and familial pressure of tradition and the interweaving of society play important roles in my work.
