Pearl Lui is a New Jersey-based artist and calligrapher whose work blends expressive artistry with scientific observation. Specializing in hand-painted and hand-drawn illustrations, multi-medium fine artwork, and modern calligraphy, her pieces are marked by a minimalist painterly aesthetic.
Inspired by nature, Pearl's work is marked by a soft and ethereal exploration of hand-made expressive lines, lyrical forms, and painterly textures in minimalist compositions. Creating original pieces by hand through diverse mediums like watercolor, acrylic, ink, graphite, and collage, she captures the delicate beauty of flora, the grace of wildlife, and the rhythm of abstract form, reflecting a deep appreciation for the natural world.

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.

Modern calligraphy transforms everyday writing into an art form, where each stroke carries intention and grace in uplifting messages and meaningful words. I have always loved the beauty of handwritten words and the art of using the pen or brush.

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.”

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.
