Who is Studio Libu?

Studio Libu is the creative space of Lisa, a practicing artist and architect based in Toronto. The name comes from a playful short form of her own—Li (for Lisa) and Bu (from her last name)—reflecting her personal touch in every piece that comes from her studio.

Lisa cultivated her skill in oil painting during her youth through years of lessons with a professional artist. She has previously contributed to large-scale installations, including the Bata Shoe Window Installation In Full Bloom and Nuit Blanche’s RippleMakesMusic.

Described by the National Post as a "dainty oil" painter, Lisa’s work focuses on oil painting, capturing the quiet allure of intimate moments unfolding within bustling bar scenes and everyday life. Her cinematic style invites viewers to feel, “I’d like to be there.”
