The lack of words and the inability to verbalize emotions is a constant personal frustration. Wyn-Lyn’s paintings are about this personal fight between in-articulation, yet wanting to be heard.

It is this dynamic balance between suppression and expression, and all the other opposites that come with it – nice and nasty, quietness and madness, recesses of darkness and layers of light, that she wishes to convey in her works. She is searching for an equilibrium between muted softness and intense surfaces that reveal spontaneous spattering, irrelevant musings, swift lines, and mark-making of all sorts. It’s symbolic of an internal world that’s often a contradiction of emotions and thoughts – happiness and sadness, calm serenity and crazy madness, hope and despair, anger and love. Somewhat like a union of opposites struggling to find some sort of lyrical madness.

Her process is based on both spontaneity and reflection. While her paintings are not deliberately about landscapes, they subconsciously hover between nature and abstraction. She has an affinity to Chinese ink which sees an amalgamation of East and West in her paintings.  (“I like how the rise and fall of a stroke can convey so much.”)
