Cynthia Wagner

Artist Statement-
My artwork takes you to imaginary worlds that are yet to be
fully explored. Through my two and three-dimensional works, I explore the struggles and beauty of being human while providing glimpses into our cultural landscape, myths, and the human psyche. I draw inspiration from my love for antique items, furniture, clothing, architecture, and vintage photographs. My sensitivity to nature, color, and light also influences my work. I use a combination of painting, collage, sculpture, and photography to connect the past, present, and future. My pieces incorporate a range of mediums, including oil and acrylic paints, ink drawings, hand-marbled papers, cast-off domestic objects, fabric, vintage portraits, and contemporary digital photographs.
