Jimmy Lu

My name is Jimmy Lu. I’m a mining engineer currently working in Waihi. In my free time, I’ve been exploring the stunning landscapes of New Zealand. The beauty of this country has left me speechless. Unable to convey my emotions through words or music, I turned to my papers and brushes to express the awe-inspiring moments.

My passion for drawing dates back to my childhood when I learned from the renowned Chinese artist, Wang Changshou. Mr. Wang taught me the art of watercolours and how to capture the essence of a subject with brushes and colours. Despite not pursuing art professionally due to academic pressures, his encouragement to draw what I see, feel, and sense stayed with me. Drawing allows me to immerse myself in a world where it’s just me and my thoughts, flowing through brushes and soaring amid vibrant colours.
