The face of Introspection
I am Nika Lynas, a digital Artist from Russia, working at the intersection of introspection and dark fantasy. My practice explores inner landscapes, where chaotic imagery takes shape through the lens of human emotion and mythological allegories.
Using digital techniques, I transform abstract experiences into visual narratives that balance fragility and strength, reality and illusion.
My work is an attempt to humanize chaos, wrapping it in symbolic, almost fairy-tale-like forms. Through the dark aesthetics of fantasy, I tell stories of fear, melancholy, and resilience inviting the viewer into a world where the unsettling becomes beautiful, and the subconscious turns tangible.
My journey as an artist extends beyond the visual: I am the author of "CRYolite," a book that intertwines memoir and reflection, documenting my creative path and the raw, often solitary reality of artistic life.
My pieces have been exhibited internationally, including shows in:
Mumbai, New York, Montreal, Moscow.
My art was also featured in a Romanian anthology of contemporary artists.
