Saint Victor

"There is an edge to these works, whether it be an interjection of mystery, cynicism, or a revealing in the mundane - the beauty of dark shines bright."
-American Art Digest

Lynden Saint Victor is a rarity among acclaimed artists, having developed a uniquely definitive look in his masterfully composed paintings. In melding the real with surreal his bold and beautiful characters have moved many by the brooding sensuality of his works.

Although not formally trained Saint Victors personal journey into art started to manifest as he began to delve into some life altering experiences. In 2002 he began to go through a very frightening and painful process of evolving beyond his religious tradition. It was this journey, and the experience that led him to this endeavor. Now, having come to the realization that what he used to believe was only a tiny microcosm of a much bigger and much more magnificent consciousness. The stories come to me first through experience and study, then I let the vision of the image take shape as I simply stare out into space. I take notes. "Then I put it on canvas."

He believes our mission on earth is to evolve. The road to expedite this mission is to live this current life with two main goals - and these have become his mantra, "To live wide-eyed in the Mystery of Life and Dare to Love Wastefully."

In expanding his horizons from a background as a syndicated cartoonist, the artist has garnered media attention from a series of sold out exhibitions of his work in premiere gallery settings from New York to Los Angeles.
