Meet Ocean Lu – the 11-year-old artistic prodigy from the US whose vibrant marker drawing just won third prize in the 'China Through My Eyes' global contest!
Ocean's masterpiece bursts with memories from their summer family trip across the Chinese mainland. Zooming through cities on high-speed trains , they sketched epic adventures: scaling the Great Wall like a modern-day Mulan, marveling at Guangzhou's space-age Canton Tower , and drifting through Suzhou's dreamy Jiangnan water towns where ancient bridges mirror Spirited Away-level magic.
The pièce de résistance? A majestic Chinese dragon weaving through the landmarks – symbolizing both cultural pride and childhood imagination.
"Every stroke tells a story," says Ocean, proving you don't need a TikTok following to make waves in global art. Want to see more young visionaries bridging cultures through creativity? Stay tuned for our #YouthArt series!
