About Ling Strube

 
 
  • Biography

    I was born and raised in China. At a very young age, I developed a deep passion for art, particularly painting. I received formal training at an art school for three years and graduated in China. Later, I relocated to Australia, where I initially worked as a street portrait artist. Subsequently, I secured a position as an illustrator at Ross Perrett Golf Course companies in Australia. After a few years, I enrolled at the Eastern College of TAFE in Melbourne, Australia, completing a two-year Associate Diploma of Arts program that significantly expanded my knowledge in the realm of art. Following my studies, I assumed the role of a Graphic Designer at Trellian Pty. Ltd. in Melbourne. In the year 2000, I permanently relocated to Germany.

    Over the past two decades, my focus has primarily been on painting and drawing. I embarked on solo exhibitions as well as participated in group exhibits within local venues, garnering the interest of numerous clients. My artistic creations draw significant inspiration from distinguished artists of the 19th century, notably Claude Monet, William Adolph Bouguereau, and Nicolai Fechin. Additionally, contemporary artists of renown such as Richard Schmid, David Leffel, and Sherrie McGraw have served as continued sources of inspiration for me.

    My painting "Autumn Happiness" was a finalist for February 2016 Emerging Artist category. This is the Judge's brief: Here’s a very well executed still life that’s complex but not overstated. All of the fruit is painted convincingly with wonderful edgework and shadows. The vases don’t upstage the fruit and the background cloth and leaves take a back seat to the focal pieces as well. I liked the wandering circular path your eye takes as it observes each piece of fruit and even the apple stems guide you along and direct you which way to go. Beautiful reflection in the large vase too. Nice!
