THE WANDERLUST ART OF SINA LUXOR

By Isis Flack

Embodying her own effervescent brand of youthful wanderlust, Sina Luxor has made her way into a state of Bali bliss, bringing her vividly drawn folk art along for the ride.

The artist, who has rendered her own life trajectory into a weaving existence that mirrors the desert nomads of her home country of Egypt, molds the lines between the complicated art of surfing and the childish charm and simplicity of a dampened paintbrush.

Serving as both her own form of “meditation and mission”, Luxor honed the stylistic body of work here through a memorable mission to the Mentawai, turbo-charging a wave of imagination, gently directing itself into her own artistic flare.

“I try to take that focus that surfing demands, that ability, and I try to identify the tiniest details that bring the whole act to life in a simple way. Because in art one must suspect that there is more than just what is seen”.
