SylC
Born in 1973.
Graduated from Ensaama, Olivier de Serres, National School of Art & Design, Paris, France.
Works and lives near Paris.
SylC paints, draws and sculpts the human figure that invariably is the focus of her researches. She invites us to join her for an initiation journey into its dreamlike, ambivalent and polychrome universe, where the viewer faces a world tinged with sweet illusory realities, where sincerity and artifice suddenly merge to give way to a more subtle reality...
From the beginning of 2010, she devoted much of her work to several thematic projects, often carried out simultaneously; Several series have emerged: Mothers (2011-2013), The Mad Dogs' Round (2013-2015), The Seasons Scent (2013-2015), Human Birds (2013-2016), Osmose(s) (2016-2018) and With or Without a Rider (2018-2019).
SylC collaborates with galleries in Europe and in the USA, where her artworks are presented through solo and groups shows. She was invited by public institutions to exhibit her artwork in historical sites such as the Chapel and the Cloister of the White Ladies (City of La Rochelle), the Château d'Eau (City of Bourges), the Chapel of the Jesuits (City of Chaumont) or the Ianchelevici Centre (City of Maisons-Laffitte).
Present in private and public collections (City of La Rochelle, City of Le Mans, City of Maisons-Laffitte), SylC have been prizes awarded in Switzerland and France. Four catalogs have been published on her work.atever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
