Sylvie Pulur is a self-taught artist who has been drawing since she was very young, especially during her teenage years. Born on December 4 in Asia Minor, she arrived in France at the age of 5, an immigration that followed the death of her father. Needing to forget her problems and escape, she quickly became interested in art in all its forms. This is how her passion for art began. Multi-technique, she quickly began to produce many works. The techniques most frequently used by the artist are: drawing, charcoal, ink, watercolor, pastel, oil... Drawing has always been a true ally for this artist during the difficult times of her life. Art is in some way a force that allowed her to isolate and protect herself, to give free rein to her imagination and create, having been raised by a widowed mother in a fighting spirit.

As for her sources of inspiration, Sylvie Pulur explains them to us as follows: "My artistic inspirations are marked by very significant periods of my life: "the Marines", for example, represent the period of my arrival in France by boat. I have about ten oil and acrylic paintings on this specific theme. I like the works of Ivan Aivazovsky for his seascapes. I am in awe of the transparency of the waves, the reflections on the water, and the union between the sky and the sea. A fan of the Roaring Twenties and Art Deco, many of my sketches (over a hundred) in charcoal, charcoal, graphite and pastel, represent women: naked, of diverse origins and backgrounds. I am very inspired by black and white photos and artists such as Tamara de Lempicka, for the cinematic staging in her works and Edward Hopper, for his paintings of American daily life in the 1930s. Until At present, I have painted or drawn for my own pleasure and offered my creations to my family and friends. Unfortunately, I have not been able to devote myself fully to art, having had to put my passion on hold during my life as a mother. I really got back into it when time allowed me, a great need for both expression and release having become necessary for my mind in order to cope with the loss of loved ones. A real emergency exit, art is therefore a way of expressing one's feelings for Sylvie Pulur.
