Hestin Lostwood is an artist and storyteller. He weaves fairy tales, myths and conceptual narrative through various mediums.
His work incorporates bright, seemingly pleasant visuals that portray dark and somber themes.
-the superficial nostalgia of childhood
-the elephant in the room (death has become a reoccurring topic recently)
and unresolved emotional baggage.
“What is presented in an innocent, childlike way really is multifaceted and smart, playing with archetypes and pulling emotional strings. Hestin Lostwood dresses inner states of consciousness in fairy tale images and surprises us with tiny twists and big revelations.”
-Angelica Weihs
