Crystal Lupa 呂紹瑜
LUPA was born in California in 1989. She received her BA degree in fashion design womenswear from Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London in 2012.
She is currently based in Taipei, working in areas including painting, illustration, sculpture, fashion design, and music composition. Regardless of the media, her visual language always exudes an air of Eastern mysticism and fantasy literature.
In the construction of magical and surreal sites, she has created her own context of symbols and forms. She transforms life experiences in reality or dreams into scenes and represents them with primitive, sensuous contours to explore the psychological states of the archetypal figure. She has extended these characteristics to her compositions, giving them an arrangement like the proscenium stage to interpret the interaction between the image and the spectator. The diversity of ethnicity and metaphor of fertility could also be found in her visual approach.
She explores self, complex, shadow and collective unconscious by visualizing the inner space through art . She chooses to achieve mutual interaction between her audience and the motif through atmosphere-evoking and immersive images to further state an inner, deeper resistance within people in the social context.

2012年畢業於倫敦中央聖馬丁學院，現定居台北。
LUPA的創作媒材多元，接觸的領域包含繪畫、雕塑、服裝、印花及音樂創作等。不論在何種媒材表現的作品，她的視覺語彙總是帶著東方神秘主義及奇幻的文學氛圍。游離於魔幻與超現實般的場域塑造，創建了屬於自身的圖騰形體語境，她將現實或夢境中的生命體驗場景化，以原始感性的輪廓線條呈現，探索著人物原型之心理狀態。
在她的慣用的視覺手法中，常能看到跨種族及生殖的隱喻。藉由藝術來具象化內在空間，進而探索自我、情結、陰影與集體無意識。構圖以舞台式的場景配置，詮釋畫面和觀者的互動性。不以衝撞式的陳述來表達她的理念，而是以氛圍及沉浸式畫面，來達到觀者與母題之間的雙向互動，進而說明人們在社會語境下，內心深層的對抗性。
