Sylvie Guyomard   Emerging artists

Born in 1964, Sylvie Guyomard is a plastic artist who, after having studied at the Beaux-Arts School in Paris, studied mural painting; she is also passionate about architecture.

Her creations are influenced by nature, she is interested in volcanic eruptions, in geology, in fossils; everything that involves the ?boiling? of the earth.

Sylvie Guyomard has worked in the beginning with inlays of materials to arrive today to something more ?zen?, all the while following her own path.

From her third project on, she has been using slate. She works with this material in order to show and use the light. The search for reflections, the strong contrasts, she goes from light gray to black , in some cases adding inlays to accentuate the mysterious side, reminding of icons a little.

Sylvie Guyomard likes the idea that the observer becomes an actor, that we can move around the work and be able to contemplate each angle and see the piece so differently from one place to another. For her, the light is part of the piece and it can make it evolve through the day and the seasons.
