Artist Talk: From Myth to Mirror Portraiture, Psyche and the Individual with Caroline Zilinsky

“Renowned artist Caroline Zilinsky joins writer and curator Ariela Bard to explore the role of the self-portrait in contemporary art—not as mere likeness, but as mythic, psychological terrain. Renowned for her symbol-laden, emotionally charged figurative work, Zilinsky dissects the human condition with both intimacy and unflinching precision. Her paintings confront selfhood, alienation, and identity in an age defined by hyper-visibility and instability, where the body becomes both vessel and battleground.

This talk delves into her fearless approach to image-making drawing from history, mythology, and lived experience—and asks how distortion, exaggeration, and abstraction can lead us closer to truth.”
