Born in Shanghai, Lulu Zyl, through the mediums of photography and digital painting, has created a body of work that explores the intersections between Eastern and Western modes of artistic expression, centering on themes of women’s empowerment. Her successful “Masked Intentions” and “Zen Leaf” shows at Sun Yat Sen’s gallery in Vancouver Canada and Red moon art Gallery in Melbourne Australia took the form of modern digital collages printed on traditional scroll material and featured an exploration of these issues through symbolic layering/breaking of veils and Chinese opera masks.

By Lulu Zyl
Lulu's photo-based/ digital painting series was inspired by experience and learning in our Wednesday Micro Church as she journeyed from beginning a relationship with Jesus to learning how to live out the way of Jesus in her day to day life. According to Lulu, "micro church helps me lots." What follows are some of the pieces that will be featured in an online showing at explorasian.org in 2022. Look out for her work!
