Introduction to Chang Lu

Chang Lu, an internationally recognized artist, was born into a family of painters and developed a deep love for art at an early age. By the age of five, her passion for painting had already begun to flourish. At nine, she began training in fine brushwork under her father's guidance and later studied with several renowned masters to further refine her technique. She went on to graduate from the prestigious oil painting program at the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts and was specially invited by CCTV as an honored artist. Chang Lu is also a proud member of the French Art Association.

Influenced profoundly by Western classicism, Chang Lu traveled extensively across Western Europe to participate in exhibitions and to study the techniques of the Old Masters in major museums. Through this journey, she developed a unique artistic language that blends traditional Chinese aesthetics with Western painting methods—a fusion that gives her work a distinctive and globally resonant voice.
