Finnigen Rynehart is an oil painter, musician, and engineer, though painting is where he is most honest.

His work is rooted in feeling more than explanation—built from memory, instinct, and moments that are difficult to put into words. Drawing from Baroque intensity, surrealism, and the natural world, his paintings exist somewhere between reality and something more internal. They are not meant to explain, but to be felt.

Recurring symbols move through his work—tigers as protectors, faceless figures as a sense of being lost, birds as chaos, and oranges as something small but sacred to hold onto. These elements are less about narrative and more about emotional truth.

A key part of his process is synesthesia, where sound, emotion, and thought take on color. This shapes the way he paints—color isn’t chosen, it’s experienced.

At its core, his work is an attempt to hold onto something fleeting—to take a feeling and make it visible. Not to define it, but to share it.
