Biography

Amy Lyu is a visual artist whose work spans painting, sculpture, and mixed media.

Born and raised in Korea, she was trained in classical art traditions, which laid the foundation for her multidisciplinary approach. Amy received her Bachelor of Fine Art (BFA) from OTIS College of Art & Design, where she developed a conceptual, minimalist sculpture practice that invited viewers to engage with time, sensory experience, and the intellectual processes behind the work.

After stepping away from art to raise two children and working in various roles, Amy has returned to her studio, focusing on painting and exploring various mediums.

Statement

My abstract paintings are a celebration of playfulness and youthfulness, often conveyed through soft, blended colors that evoke warmth, calm, and quiet—yet with a touch of whimsy. I strive to create a sense of serenity while inviting viewers to reconnect with their own sense of curiosity and play.

Inspired by the beauty of mundane, everyday things, I aim to twist their meaning just enough to present a fresh perspective. Through my work, I hope to encourage people to pause, reflect, and discover something unexpected in the familiar. Each piece is an exploration of subtle contrasts—tranquility meets spontaneity, simplicity meets depth—ultimately crafting a visual experience that feels both comforting and thought provoking
