ART Sylvia Weber

Quote from a buyer: "Your pictures touch us." That is exactly what I want. I want to touch you with my paintings.

​

 

When painting I do not follow any idea, sometimes a color combination, mostly just intuition. So in each work is also a lot of me - emotions, experiences, energies. Sometimes lightness, sometimes heaviness. Sometimes powerful or diffuse, sometimes clear, bright or blurred. It is important to me that a statement remains, not everything is completely dissolved. Abstract yes, but not completely detached from the form. Thus arise their own worlds, landscapes, beings, people.

 

To be able to see, one must enter the picture. This is not possible with a short scan, it requires a closer look and immersion. 

​

 

Not only the art, but also the "trappings" seem to be relevant in our time. Therefore, here briefly the most formative points in my life and my artistic development.

​

 

I was born in 1969 in Wertheim, a small, very pretty medieval town on the Main and Tauber, grew up in a loving family, mom, dad, my brother, many aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors, friends. There was always something going on and the door was wide open for everyone. In English you would say "openminded", which pretty much sums up my growing into life.

 

I graduated as a communications specialist and since 2008 I have been working as an online marketing freelancer and artist.

At school I drew my teachers in class, then at home I drew posters and postcards of James Dean, that's how it all started. Maybe the genes were not completely innocent, because my grandpa was very active artistically, painted, played several musical instruments and gave accordion lessons (that's how he met my grandma). Music - I learned to play the guitar - didn't grab me as much as painting.
