As an award-winning fiction writer, harpist, and pianist, she chooses artworks that inspire her writing and music, fueling her imagination and evoking countless narratives. Cynthia’s background as an engineer and certified Nielsen Norman UX designer bolsters her unique approach to curating digital and traditional artworks that open doors to parallel universes. Her work with the Faerian Gallery and as a curator for the NFT Design Awards has taken her from Paris to Rome, Seoul, and NYC. Cynthia not only curates, but also coaches artists on web3 promotion, traveling worldwide to represent them. In 2022, as she volunteered on Robinson Crusoe island in Chile, she was a key strategic adviser to the local art gallery, an iconic music group, and a celebrated writer, further showcasing her versatility in the art curatorial field.

In the realm of the art of imaginary worlds, Cynthia Mayer selects pieces that transcend the visual medium to touch the soul, inspire countless stories, and spark the imagination. These works serve as portals to alternate universes, each piece a catalyst for narrative and musical inspiration, reflecting her dual passions as a writer and musician. This unique approach characterizes her curation at the Faerian Gallery and informs her mentoring of artists. Through her work, she invites viewers to embark on their own journeys of imagination, encouraging them to engage with art as a key to unlock unseen worlds and untold stories. Cynthia is eagerly preparing for the upcoming multi-artist “Humanity” event, a first-of-its-kind collaborative human-generated art event celebrating the transformative power of human creativity and imagination.
