Nyll Axis is the pseudonym of an artist who prefers to remain incognito. His paintings emerge as nameless presences moving through shifting layers of perception. There are no stories, no time — only appearances and disappearances. What remains are abstract glyphs with the illusion of meaning: thresholds, lines, dissolving architectures. These are not narratives, but signals, pointing beyond knowledge toward the vanishing wall of the self.

''My Dreamscape series offers a visual journey through the realm of fantasies and dreams. The title itself is fluid and open to interpretation; it may suggest a landscape, seascape, or even a “bodyscape.” Here, the idea of landscape shifts away from its traditional role as a window onto nature and becomes an opening into the emotional and imaginative terrain of the psyche. Each work evokes a space that is at once alluring and unsettling, where beauty and hostility coexist, i
