These works are an exploration of philosophical theory and their relevance and perhaps importance in today's modern world. There is a humanistic element to them and a deep interest in the various constructs of society and human behavior. Imbued with symbolic notations, allegorical characters and cascading movement, I hope to inspire analysis on these subjects while also instilling a sense of beauty and fantasy.


For inquiries about available original works and prices, please email me @ carolinprinn@gmail.com

Limited Edition Prints of the works (Ed. of 30) are available through my website.

New Pen and Ink Work


Carolin Prinn, Niljora & the Fall of The Grandfather Clock, pen & ink on canson c a grain paper, 297 x 420 mm

Capturing a story from my epic in development, The Stories of Niljora©. A glimpse into my world. Relating the characters into these flattened planes of pen & inks makes their primordial nature even stronger, a kind of lyrical and hieroglyphic storytelling.

Excerpts From The Large Sketchbook













Ideas are running around my head for my next acrylic series while I am busy getting larger in scale with my pen and inks. I am having another show mid-year in Wellington I am often asked what my work is about as it's quite cryptic and metaphoric. So I thought of a metaphor to describe it...

It's like Socrates and Aristotle arguing on opposite sides of a great table enveloped by a map of the world.

Yes, that works.
