And So the Magpies Multiply is currently on display at the popular art gallery near Manaccan.
The exhibition will come to an end this weekend, running until Sunday, 9 June.
Nina Royle, who originally hails from Cornwall, studied at the coveted Slade School of Fine Art in London before returning to her Cornish roots in 2017.
Since then, she has established her very own art studio at CAST.
Ms Royle’s exhibition includes a selection of her paintings, bronze mirrors and ceramics.
The artwork presented in the gallery mirrors her personal experiences while simultaneously bringing a new meaning to the familiar.
Some of the symbolism represented in her artwork includes the mirror, the keyhole, and the pomegranate.
All symbols can be associated with grim reflections on the transience of life, and the connection between this world and the afterlife.
A stand-out piece in the showcase is a small painting on wood and gesso titled And So, the Magpies Multiply.
This artwork not only served as an inspiration for the exhibition but made references to Helston where she began the painting last March.
Her artwork brings forth powerful symbolism, combining elements from the modern world with a touch of mystic ancient symbolism.
Ms Royle spoke about how she navigated “stuck” moments in her painting during her routine five-minute walk from her parking spot to her art studio.
Expressing her fondness for Helston, she says: “I love the sombre convent-like feel of this building, with its bell tower and the crows and magpies that cluster on the telegraph pole next to it.
“Again, it seems here but somewhere else.”
Also on display are 15 bronze mirrors created by the artist with the help of her father, jewellery craftsman, Guy Royle.
The mirrors are directly inspired by several sources, including the 15th-century mural painting in Breage church and the St Keverne Mirror, an Iron Age artefact found near Kestle Barton.
Ms Royle’s exhibition marvellously portrays an exploration of art intertwined with place, bringing about a new perspective on an age-old tradition.
