THE  STORY OF ARTIST:
STEPHEN LINSTEADT

Stephen Linsteadt is a California-born painter, currently residing in Brazil. Inspired by the Brazilian landscape, its people, and environmental challenges, he creates vivid imagery of nature, often in the framework of mythological motifs to address the various crises of contemporary society, such as changing environments, materialism, loneliness, and intolerance. He is known for his energetic brushwork and sensual use of paint and color.

Linsteadt is an avid student of Carl Jung and owes much of his imagery to Jung’s ideas on mythological, archetypal, and alchemical symbolism, particularly that of the Unknown Woman. Linsteadt explains, “I always include 'The Unknown Woman’ in all my paintings even when she is not actually represented. She represents our Soul’s calling us out of the darker side of our inner state, especially with the political, social, and environmental issues activated at this time.”
