Carolin Ayllón Nuyken

*1998 in Lima, Peru

Memory, identity, uncertainty and a sense of belonging are central components in Carolin Ayllón Nuyken’s work. As is the relationship between man and nature. The focus is on the loneliness and contemplation of the individual in the face of the immensity of the natural environment. The artist prefers to refer to places to which she herself feels a spiritual connection. She calls her works “mental landscapes”. Not only the external beauty of nature should be emphasized, she wants to “open a door that allows the viewer to immerse themselves in a world and lose themselves in it”.
