In her large-scale acrylic paintings, Lunita-July Dorn creates dynamic visual worlds that oscillate between surreal narrative and personal reflection. Her works are poetic intertwinings of personal memories and artistic expression, revealing a haunting, almost tangible intimacy. Dorn seduces with an unmistakably free painting style: broad, energetic brushstrokes and expressive gestures meet subtle details. Her process is radically intuitive—figures emerge spontaneously, without preliminary sketches, flowing directly from her imagination onto the canvas. Layers of overpainting and correction remain visible, lending her works their distinctive, pulsating vitality. The only elements rendered in clear, precise detail are the faces of the protagonists—self-portraits that return our gaze again and again.
