Pauline Hoyer in Studio Pauline Hoyer’s paintings draw from the visual language of the Baroque and the dreamlike atmosphere of Romanticism, exploring the inner landscape of human consciousness. Her figures exist beyond space and time not as portraits of individuals, but as expressions of the universal human experience.
