Cynthia VandenBor (1973) is a Rotterdam based artist who creates elegant and evocative paintings of birdwomen - feminine figures that transcend the ordinary. These hybrid beings stand poised  between two realms, the world of limitation and the world of freedom and conscious manifestation. 

With delicate feathers and graceful postures they symbolise the inner duality of the human spirit.

Each birdwoman is both a mirror and a muse,

she reflects the universal longing for absolute freedom.

While reminding us of the invisible restrictions shaped by culture, upbringing and our own limiting beliefs.

While her art is rich in symbolism, Cynthia also embraces the decorative aspect of it, because to her, beauty matters.

'A painting must captivate at first glance,

It must appeal before it is even understood'

'I AM'... the light of the world
