Faerian is the first gallery dedicated to art inspired by imaginary worlds, featuring both digital and physical works from artists around the globe. Founded in 2022, it has since presented the creations of more than 30 artists in five different countries: France (Paris), Italy (Rome), South Korea (Seoul), the United States (New York), and Portugal (Lisbon).
The gallery seeks to encompass all forms of art, including digital (non-AI) works, physical pieces, music, jewelry, writing, and more.
Faerian’s collections transcend traditional boundaries between artwork, artist, and observer by inviting visitors to shape the narrative of each collection, rather than simply viewing completed pieces.
Through immersive, participatory events, such as those developed for “Humanity” and “Darkness”, we co-create evolving imaginary worlds that reach beyond the gallery walls.

The team and advisors behind Faerian
Cynthia Mayer, founder and curator of Faerian Gallery, is an influential figure in the realm of imaginative art. From her early childhood fascination with fantasy and science fiction, she drew the inspiration to write her own stories and craft her own imaginary worlds.
In 2022, after transitioning from a career in software product management in Silicon Valley and earning a Master’s degree from Duke University, she founded Faerian. Her mission: to empower the artists she had admired for years and present their work on a global stage, allowing others to find inspiration, step back from everyday reality, and immerse themselves—if only briefly—in an alternate universe.
As both curator and artist agent, Cynthia travels worldwide, personally representing the gallery’s talents and bringing their imaginative creations to art lovers everywhere.
