Lily (Lihting Li) Kostrzewa is a contemporary fine artist specializing in cross-cultural acrylic and mixed-media painting.
Lily, a Taiwan-born artist, has a style of painting that is lush, imaginative, and cultural, with simple brush strokes exhibiting complicated layers of colors.
Lily now lives and paints in New York City; her artwork has been shown in Spain, Germany, France, Ukraine, Jordan, Taiwan, Austria, Canada, Greece, Italy, China, South Korea, Japan, and many states in the USA.
Through a lifetime of learning in different art mediums, she has an MFA in Modern Painting, an MA in Computer Graphics, and a BFA in Chinese Art.
Her color is expressive, and her brush strokes on her painting are rooted in her native culture and her years of training in painting. She hopes to bring her Chinese perspective to modern painting and marry them into a cross-cultural uniqueness.
