Artist Statement
Discover the World of Art Dolls with Koray Lynx - Crafting Since 2014.
Koray Lynx's cloth doll art consists of textiles, sculpting, and various forms of mixed media. He makes cloth dolls based on various current and universal themes. Koray has been handcrafting art dolls since 2014. He started working on a doll to take his mind off some issues that were going on in his life. It was an effective distraction for a while. Then, he took a hiatus for a few years, only to come back to it again. When he creates a doll, he decides on a theme, but doesn’t know how it will turn out until it is finished. His latest work centers on issues and represents a message with each doll. He finished a doll about breast awareness, and another on the problems of Muslim women. One of his most recent dolls incorporated the Turkish eye and addressed the concept of superstition.

Koray Lynx’s cloth dolls are more than just art—they are stories brought to life through textiles, sculpting, and mixed media. Since 2014, Koray has been creating one-of-a-kind handcrafted dolls, each infused with deep, universal themes. His creative process begins with a concept but unfolds organically, making every piece truly unique.
Each doll serves as a conversation piece, tackling powerful subjects such as breast cancer awareness, the struggles of Muslim women, and cultural superstitions—illustrated through symbolic elements like the Turkish eye. These thought-provoking works bridge art and advocacy, making them not just collectibles but meaningful statements.

It always took time to step into the cold waters of the river. I went there to reconnect and rejoice with family. From the time I was young, the melted water from the nearby glacier was soothing on a hot summer day. The water was clear and clean, and I cooled bottles that were held in place by some of the stones. You could smell the salmonberries growing, and the green moss in the water. And the relaxation and calm I felt later by the campfire was a perfect end to the day.
The men’s cologne opens with a refreshing sense of coolness, energizing the spirit. Then, it unfolds into a sophisticated heart that blends floral warmth with a sensual undertone, creating a magnetic presence. Subtle hints of spice add an unexpected depth, adding to its complexity.
