The Refuge of the Mind

These works are about self-reflection and -awareness as well as the revelation and visualization of the intriguing properties of the human mind, consciousness and subconsciousness which constantly change with the flow of time. All in the means of finding an answer to the relativity of existence and define the own position in the ‘web of life’.
Therefore, abstract concepts, aspects of personalities and characteristics are impersonated in fictional creatures in order to work with them and analyse them to achieve a constant development.

The huge Kátoptron art series (about the concepts of “Alter Egos” and “Inner Demons”) are part of The Refuge of the Mind, containing artworks focused on Farphyni herself. They address three symbolic creatures (and their many aspects), which impersonate the three pillars of Farphynis being: Raa’Deviah, Kee’Asuriah and Yuu’Serah – being deiwos, daimonion and nous. They form a circle in which center is everything and void. Everything changes with the time, but time itself is a part of the circle and therefore the circle of the three stays, changed, but still a circle – neverending, with out a beginning and an expiration.
