Artist statement
Linds Miyo is a self-taught, intuitive painter, known for process-based works that drift between abstraction, expressionism, and landscape. A trauma survivor, Linds is interested in the interplay between our intentions and that which is beyond our control, the meeting place of our best efforts and happenstance. She begins each canvas with textured black underpainting, a striking visual representation of the gravity of emotions past. That textural contrast, amidst layers of joyful colour, moves the eye through these balanced works. In these unique paintings, the dark relief of the past is folded into the multi-dimensional present day, with an engaging sense of truth, wonder, and story. Linds has been honoured to show her work internationally, with acquisitions to private and corporate collections worldwide. Linds Miyo lives and works in Toronto, Canada.
