"I love my life as an artist and create original paintings that I hope reflect the joy. I have when I work on them. I want to share color, light and energy." Sylvia Paul is a painter who now has over 40 years of experience. Since her time at the art academies, the painter has experienced successful years with international recognition. Years that have influenced her work and subjected it to a creative dynamic. As the artist would wish, the viewer senses her enduring love of nature and the unique landscapes of England. When Sylvia Paul leaves her garden studio in Essex, the painter enters the realm of her inspiration. The blooming garden, the verdant landscapes and the light that allows the natural colours to shine. Sylvia loves floral still lifes, they give her the opportunity to use an almost infinite palette of colours and to bring the most diverse nuances together again and again. The still lifes and landscapes of the artist seem familiar and give the impression of having seen exactly this flowerage somewhere before. It succeeds the painter from an everyday encounter to work out the magic of the special.
Contemporary painting gives the individual artist the greatest possible freedom of his own development. Art today is dynamic and changeable. The world has experienced a new cultural diversity and art thrives on the combination of materials, concepts and themes. At the first fleeting glance at the work of Sylvia Paul, the thought of impressionist painting suggests itself. The light and the fleeting brushstrokes with which she captures the flowering glade and summer meadows are reminiscent of van Gogh. The pasty oil paint is generously applied, hinting at the emotionality infused during the painting process. On careful inspection, one notices the fine papers and lovingly selected papers that Sylvia Paul uses for her collages. They are handmade papers from Japan, old postcards and magazines, which are transformed into landscape elements. Sylvia Paul invents pictorial stories for the papers, which she elaborates around the paper elements with acrylic paint and oils. A scrap of paper becomes a dress whose wearer takes a stroll through the city. She builds houses out of paper and gives landscape painting an intense expressiveness.
Sylvia Paul shares a subtle closeness to Japan. The artist has exhibited her works several times in the Asian country and discovered it through travel. She herself says that this experience made a lasting impression on her. Her painting has become increasingly abstract after the trip. Sylvia's paintings are full of movement, colors and an expressive texture. To this day, the artist loves to challenge her creativity and constantly develop it further.
