As Joyce, a counselling psychologist, corporate trainer, and artist, my work is a reflection of how I see and interpret the world. Through my eyes, I invite you to explore the depths of the human mind, emotions, and experiences. Each piece serves as a window into my perception—blurring the lines between art and psychology, encouraging introspection and emotional connection.
My Story
Hi, My Name Is Joy Vera Lume.
Statement
My art is a reflection of the unseen—an exploration of the mind, emotions, and the human experience through symbolic and surrealistic lenses. Central to my work is the concept of Window Eyes: a metaphorical view into the depths of human perception, identity, and emotional complexity. Every piece I create represents a window, allowing the viewer to see not just the world outside but the intricate world within.
.
As a counseling psychologist and corporate trainer, I’ve spent my career delving into the complexities of the human mind. My professional journey has shaped my understanding of emotional intelligence, empathy, and personal growth—principles that deeply inform my artwork. I see art as more than just a visual experience; it’s a therapeutic tool that fosters connection, introspection, and transformation.
.
In my signature series, I intertwine nature, cosmic elements, and human figures, using the Window Eyes as a recurring motif. These windows represent gateways to the soul, inviting the viewer to engage with their inner world. Each theme, whether it be cosmic, floral, or abstract, serves as a unique exploration of identity, offering a lens through which we can better understand ourselves and the world around us.
.
At the core of my creative process is the desire to merge art and psychology. I aim to create pieces that challenge conventional perceptions, ignite curiosity, and encourage introspection. My work is an invitation—to look deeper, to feel more intensely, and to appreciate the beauty of the unseen.
.
Art, for me, is a continuous dialogue between the external world and the internal self. It is a process of learning, unlearning, and embracing new perspectives, much like my approach in my psychological work. Through my art, I seek to inspire others to see beyond the surface, to connect with their emotions, and to embark on a journey of personal discovery.
