A Portfolio by Luz Qi
Living in the English countryside, I find inspiration in everyday moments—the morning mist, my children’s laughter, and the stories we share at the table. Family life and a slower pace shape my work. Through painting, photography, and music, I try to capture the small joys and quiet challenges of daily life, hoping to connect with others in a simple and honest way.

Luz Qi’s Painting Art
In my paintings, I focus on the details of daily life. My work uses basic colors and lines to reflect thoughts about family and everyday feelings. I hope these pieces can bring a sense of warmth and calm.
Luz Qi Studio, the name I chose, means “light and wish.” My goal is to offer a bit of light and a place to pause in a busy world.
My painting style combines acrylics, illustration, and sometimes photography, along with music and nurseryrhymes. These works are not meant to be grand, but to quietly share emotion and help others notice the beauty in ordinary life.

Photography
When I started photography, I focused on technique. Over time, I realized that the most meaningful photos are about feeling, not perfection. I try to find the right angle and mood to tell a real story.
Becoming a mother changed my perspective. Now, I look for quiet, honest moments—a child’s smile, soft morning light. My photography is about capturing the spirit of people, the calm of nature, and the story behind each image.
