Artist statement

My work explores surreal symbolic imagery where inner landscapes take form through recurring archetypal figures and personal mythology. The two collections, jointly named Lynx Mythologies, that I have developed over the past two years comprise an evolving body of paintings. The mythologies follow the emergence of a personal symbol of the inner child—the Lynx. Lynx Mythologies are existential contemplations and a character development arc in visual form. The Lynx’s journey across the collections accompanies viewers through their own personal transitions, whether they draw on psychological, philosophical, or spiritual concepts. With a background in Neuroscience (Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Neuroscience), I approach artistic creation through cognitive, psychological, and symbolic perspectives, exploring how perception, memory, and personal experience shape the symbols that appear in my work and evolve throughout collections.
