Cal State San Bernardino will present “Epiphanies,” a Master of Fine Arts exhibition by graduate student Loren Malul, on view May 2-June 2 at the All Eyes Gallery, located at 395 N. E Street in Suite 108 in San Bernardino. An opening reception will take place at the gallery on Saturday, May 2, from 6:30-9:30 p.m. It is free and open to the public.

Malul is a contemporary surrealist oil painter based in Southern California, originally from Miami. Her work explores the balance between flow and precision, with compositions that begin as intuitive sketches inspired by personal experience and evolve into carefully rendered paintings. The tension between chaos and control is a defining element of her process, which she describes as immersive and driven by moments of creative insight.

Working on multiple pieces simultaneously, Malul draws on practices such as intuitive sketching, abstraction, time in nature, meditation, and research in philosophy and theology. These influences inform a body of work shaped by what she describes as “downloads,” or moments of sudden clarity that guide both her process and subject matter.

“Epiphanies” investigates the phenomenon of personal breakthroughs and the ways in which the human psyche processes transformation. Through her work, Malul examines the relationship between the self and the surrounding environment, exploring how that interaction shapes daily experience. The exhibition engages themes of Carl Jung’s shadow work, healing and existential inquiry, using visual elements such as portals, voids, intersecting landscapes and first-person perspectives to translate internal states into physical space.

By integrating these elements, Malul invites viewers to consider both the seen and unseen aspects of perception, encouraging reflection on moments of realization that influence personal growth.
