Lu Mourelle’s work is deeply influenced by her emotional experiences. Initially focused on integrating diverse and pluralistic societies, she dedicated herself to the fashion industry before fully embracing the Fine Arts. Drawing from her studies in painting and her life experiences, she creates rich, multifaceted female characters that embody personality and emotion, showcasing a contemporary and unconventional beauty.

 

The artist is a member of the National Society of Fine Arts in Lisbon and continues her research to create compositions that blend color with original features and diverse expressions. Lu Mourelle begins with deconstruction to enhance faces and expressions filled with emotion. These figures are both idealized and subjective, transforming the audience's experience into a contemplation of femininity.

Through a continuous process of study, creation, and evolution, Lu Mourelle develops works inspired by everyday observations. Additionally, the artist draws insights from the masterpieces of others, resulting in thoughtful reinterpretations of various subjects. In this context, special thanks are due to Manolo Valdés, Dominik Jasiński, Fashion Strokes Movement, Carlos Delgado, Ekaterina Koroleva, Max Sergeev, Jess Illustrator, Anna Matykiewicz, and Zhenya, all of whom have contributed to Lu Mourelle's artistic growth through their free re-readings of some of their works.

Lu Mourelle believes that all the elements around us create a web that connects us and shapes the rich, vast, and diverse universe we experience. She envisions the arts playing a key role in preparing the world for its best potential. However, she acknowledges that achieving this ideal interaction requires continual redesign, involving an ongoing process of construction and deconstruction.
