Sylvie Graf is a talented artist whose career began in 1986 with the exploration of pastel and plaster fabrics, before turning to sculpture in 1987.

As an organizer, Sylvie set up her first exhibitions in Marlenheim in 1988 and 1991, collaborating with other artists such as the painter Géfé and demonstrating a strong commitment to sculptural art.

During the 1990s, Sylvie diversified her artistic expertise by delving into store layout and developing her painting techniques at through various exhibitions in Strasbourg and Marlenheim.

The 2000s allowed her to deepen her work through learning ceramics and welding, expanding her creative repertoire.

In 2023, Sylvie continued to organize and collaborate with other notable artists on exhibitions in Marlenheim, captivating his audience with constantly renewed creativity.

 

Artistic approach

Sylvie's artistic approach is characterized by a deep exploration of forms and movements, both in sculpture and painting.

Initially inspired by African art with its totems, large figures and masks, she then ventured into the representation of female bodies and snakes, both together and separately.

This fascination with snakes naturally led to a study of volutes, a motif that evokes movement and which she continues to explore with passion.

Sylvie seeks to capturing shapes that call to touch, favoring rounded, elongated and smooth contours that encourage caress.

In painting, she transposes this search for fluidity and dynamism into abstract works.

Her collection "Dynamique" illustrates this lively approach.

She also explores poetic themes such as the seabed, where abstraction is adorned with swirls and shimmering colors.

Sylvie expresses herself through a vibrant palette, infusing each creation with a unique visual vitality.
