Overview
Dan Verkys’ writing mirrors the dark, surreal, and emotionally charged worlds of his visual art. His prose moves through the shadowed corridors of dystopia, speculative reality, and psychological unease, often blurring the boundaries between the inner self and the external world. There is a distinctive lyrical quality to his work—poetic yet sharp—where imagery becomes as crucial as narrative, and atmosphere often drives the emotional weight of a piece.
Across his stories, poems, and world-building projects such as Infinite Black, Verkys constructs realities that are strikingly visual in tone. His writing frequently explores themes of decay, isolation, transformation, and the fragile nature of human perception. Characters navigate bleak or collapsing environments, both literal and symbolic, echoing his fascination with the limits of identity and the thin line between survival and surrender.
