BAPHOROCK

I’m Baphorock, an artist working across linocut, photography, and visual storytelling. My practice brings together original printmaking with a sustained engagement with medieval woodcut traditions and fifteenth-century book imagery, drawing from their symbolic language and cosmological frameworks.Alongside this historical dialogue, my work explores themes of social awareness, human rights, and inclusivity, connecting personal narratives with broader collective experiences. Through this interplay between past and present, I seek to both preserve visual heritage and contribute to contemporary artistic discourse.

яebis

Rebis is an ancient alchemical symbol of unity—the fusion of opposites like male and female, matter and spirit. It appears at the final stage of the alchemical process, symbolizing balance, completion, and inner harmony.In my work, Rebis represents the journey of becoming whole—embracing contradictions, duality, and transformation. It speaks to the human desire for integration in a fragmented world, inviting reflection on identity, healing, and the merging of inner worlds.

Gnosis

Gnosis is a linoprint inspired by a mysterious 19th-century illustration used in both meteorology and spiritual texts. The image—depicting the point where heaven and earth meet—evokes the moment of insight or breakthrough, not only spiritually, but also within ourselves. It reflects the awe of realizing there’s always something beyond what we see.

The Fallen

This linoprint draws inspiration from the fallen angel statue, symbolizing the complex interplay of rebellion, loss, and redemption. It captures the poignant beauty of a being caught between light and shadow, strength and vulnerability.

Female яage

Medusa reclaims a misunderstood myth as a symbol of female rage, power, and defiance. Often told as a tale of punishment and fear, her story reflects deeper truths about patriarchy, violation, and how society responds to women who resist the roles forced upon them. In this print, Medusa stands for every woman who dares to set boundaries, express anger, or survive and speak out.

Satanic Panic

This print is inspired by the Satanic Panic era of the 1980s and 90s—a time when fear, misinformation, and media hysteria led to real harm. Innocent people were accused of dark rituals, alternative lifestyles were demonized, and creative expression was often censored. This work reflects on how moral panic can spiral into persecution, often targeting the most vulnerable or misunderstood. By provoking an instinctive reaction to the horned icon, the work reveals how deeply embedded cultural narratives and moral panics continue to inform our perception of symbolic imagery.

Broken explores the feeling of being torn, misplaced, or fragmented—physically or emotionally. Through bold contrasts and raw lines, it reflects the silent weight of internal disconnection and the quiet strength it takes to hold oneself together.
