Inspired by the fluidity and spontaneity of lines around us — you are invited to immerse yourself in the underlying energy and quietude inherent in each piece. Aiming to capture the expressions of energy and movement within nature and city scapes I explore contrasts and connections in unique black and white abstract artworks. Specializing in painterly brushwork, each piece features interesting textures and contrast.

Botanical Art | Faerie Surrealist Collection by Pearl Lui

Whimsically reimagining a timeless flower deeply intertwined with humans since ancient times, the Phalaenopsis, or Moth Orchid, is personified through its roots, abstractly crowned with its blooms, and confidently sophisticated and elegant.

Inspired by traditional Chinese art and the delicate beauty of orchids and whimsical flower characters, these unique art works blend bold lines with subtle softness and spontaneity, creating dreamlike compositions as ethereal as orchids. Evoking a sense of playful wonder and invite viewers to explore their own unique interpretations, discover botanical surrealism made from minimalist carbon ink & brush lines.

“My love for charismatic florals and whimsical seashells perhaps started when she first came across the unforgettable pansies, irises, and daisies and cute little oysters in Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.”

—Pearl Lui

Like all forms of art and observation, I am learning to capture a sense of rhythm flowing through the evocative human form and studying line structure, hoping to convey emotion and movement in each piece.
