HYPNOTHERAPIST/ WRITER

​

Reni Haymond is a pure ballpoint pen artist whose work revolves around the distinct colouration and linear qualities of the medium. Through investigating the optimal scales that maximise visual tension, she elevates the mundane into the monumental.

​

While the colour choices of a ballpoint pen are modest, their symbolic meanings are immense, evoking profound imagination and emotion. The monochrome shades within are often unseen precisely because they are so commonplace. Embedded in the everyday crowd yet habitually undervalued, they remain the forgotten shadows of a kaleidoscopic world.

​

The pen, therefore, mirrors the human condition.

​

Artistic medium knows no high or low; the nobility of a soul is laid bare through creation. Stepping into the art world with the most elemental and primitive expression of the pen, Reni’s optimistic and unyielding linework serves as a testament to self-worth: to be respected by the world, one must first respect oneself.

​

The pen, therefore, commands its own dignity.

​

One pen. One line. One soul. One lifetime. One book.
