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.

One way to run away from winter gloom is to experience an evening in December driving through the neighborhoods and looking at the holiday lights. One time we decided to feel that wonder in a whole new way. On a cold evening in December, we traveled to Portland to view the Zoolights. With over 1.5 million lights, the grounds were glowing with the shapes of animals, trains, and carousels. We could see our breath in the air as we sipped on a cup of hot chocolate and joyfully wandered through the brilliant colors covering the landscape.
A rush of grapefruit and pineapple awakens the senses, leading to a heart of berries and jasmine, where sweetness meets allure. Grounded by the soft sensuality of musk, this fragrance is vibrant, playful, and effortlessly captivating.
