GHOST IN THE TOWERS

is a series of black ink paintings that depict the feeling of loneliness and strangeness that can be felt in the cities. The motif of towers can be observed both as characters that haunt the cities and as urban or rural landscapes.

Grise-Mine

in English, ‘to look glum’ blends different motifs to evoke introspection, anger, and mystery. The process started with an abstract forest painting, but evolved as faces were integrated into the trees. At times, the trees themselves were integrated into the faces.

About

''Cabinet of Polichinel'' is a project by Mylène Ben Osman a.k.a Koupure: fine artist, illustrator, and 3D/mixed media artist based in Berlin, Germany.

The cabinet aims to present a collection of artworks and projects that may differ in their techniques of creation but always focus on similar themes such as dark nature, crumbling worlds, and the mysteries of the mind, weaving together introspection and a broader perspective on society.

While studying game design introduced her to the art of world-building and interactivity, ink painting reconnected her with a more direct and intuitive approach to creation. In both types of work, the audience is invited to explore worlds that are pleasant and disturbing at the same time. Her creations also aim to give a voice to what may be considered small, neglected, strange, or damaged in a world dominated by the big, the beautiful, the clean, and the acceptable.

The collection could be described as obscure poetry, orthe art of juggling between the pleasant and the disturbing to produce mysterious pieces.
