Lu Ke grew up surrounded by ink, paper, brushes, pattern books and folk stories, which inspired her to draw from an early age. She is interested in drawing beautiful but weird creatures from her imagination with a variety of patterns and meticulous detail. Her works are deeply inspired by Chinese philosophy, fantasy, and mythology. She keeps seeking and exploring the connections behind dreams, emotions and relationships.
