Lunatrix D. Varnish was born in 1993, somewhere between Estonia and Mars—between a fever dream and a YouTube glitch music loop.
Her true birthplace remains unknown, though rumors claim her first artworks were made with pastel crayons on a microwave door. Since then, no surface has been safe.

Varnish never received formal art training, a fact that fuels her defiant charisma and quietly unsettles critics.

Her works often feature face-painting, cyberpunk fragments, forgotten 1980s TV antennas, and beads seemingly gathered from a deranged workshop.
She renders human faces like collapsing cosmic memes—portraits that seem to ask: “Is this gaze judging me?”

She prefers to appear in public only as a hologram.

Her physical body, according to legend, may be trapped inside an old pinball machine.

Her entire artistic manifesto consists of one sentence:
"Beauty should behave like a parasite."

Lunatrix D. Varnish offers no comfort, only confrontation.
There are no icons here—only faces in collapse, caught between becoming and erasure.
