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.

I visited Hawaii when I was at a crossroads in my life. In Maui, I drove up from the beach to the slopes of the mount Haleakalā. The climate gradually changed from the warmth of the seaside to the coolness of the mountain. Nestled in the trees was a cozy restaurant. This was the perfect setting for coffee, orange juice, eggs, and pancakes. After breakfast, I walked down to the dewy gardens below the lodge and smelled the tropical flowers. There, I found more clarity about the way my life was heading.

Enjoy the radiant burst of sweet flowers as the perfume unfolds with delicate jasmine and rose, evoking the charm of a blooming garden party at twilight. A fragrance that feels like a celebration of nature and connection.
