SylT

“My artistic work is very much rooted in nature and influenced by the essence of its femininity. My inspiration is therefore a combination of nature's bountiful beauty and my vision of womanhood as reflected in our humanity.” – SylT

Exploring the beauty of the natural world and the feminine psyche through highly textured paintings, SylT is inspired by everything around him, whether it is the emotional interconnectedness of nature or personal meditations. Living in the forest for the past few years, SylT was able to observe and live to the rhythm of nature throughout all four seasons. He enjoys spending time in the forest, finding and photographing natural forms, shapes, textures and colours that catch his eye. Afterwards, he interprets the energy and vibrations felt during his outings and collects pieces of bark, bird feathers, and small pebbles that inspire him, which are then integrated into his paintings.

Whether creating a portrait or landscape, SylT creates arresting, mixed media works that demand the viewers’ attention. Transforming his images into hypnotic, ephemeral works of art, SylT begins his works in the digital realm employing an array of digital applications to add motion and depth to his pieces. Taking a more traditional artistic approach to complete his work, he uses acrylic, aerosol paints, natural materials and collaging techniques, to alter and enhance the physical and visual properties of his works.
