Linds Miyo

Artist member since 2018
Pro
Toronto, Ontario

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. Linds Miyo lives and works in Toronto, Canada.

Inside the Studio


Q+A

Describe the person your work appeals to in 3 words

Curious, strong, open-minded... I think my work attracts those looking for something fresh, truly unique and authentic. All of us should find our own voices, and I'm happy that my work is a reflection of my perspective, my point of view. Thank you for looking, and thank you for seeing.

Why is it important for people to have art in their home or life?

We need light and color that expands our perceptions, which shakes us out of our predictable routines. I want to create the story of that beauty. I want to engage with the joy, to celebrate color, to revel in the power and energy it brings to even the smallest of our experiences.

When did you start making art, and why?

I've always made art. I still have my first painting on canvas, I made it at age 8. Art makes me happy.

Favourite artist(s) right now

Raymond Saunders is my forever fave. Genius.
