My sources of inspiration are inspired by Nature in the broadest sense: cosmic, microscopic, earthly, aquatic, human. It is life that interests me.
I propose a work all in nuances of diaphanous films, hoping to touch the viewer, to offer him all the poetry of the play of forms, colors and lights so that he weaves secret links with Nature and reconnects with his imagination, his humanity, his essence, his partiality.
My supports vary: canvas, wood or Plexiglas.
First I color my resin by mixing one or more pigments in several preparations. Then, after having poured it on my support, I add different liquid pigments and different colored inks to the previously prepared resin as it sets. The complete polymerisation of the resin takes 15 days.
I use glue spatulas of different widths as painting tools, which allow me to stretch and even turn my prepared colors. I draw shapes inside the resin with different wooden sticks, in an imaginary and always renewed calligraphy of the space.
I work in different formats, also small formats of 20 x 20 cm. They are talismans and have within them all the power of the images they suggest or carry. It is a question of space, of being, of the cosmos, of childhood, of memories and of those times of life that are specific to each of us.
"When delight stirs the feelings, the impenetrable wall between the consciousness and subconscious melts for a split second, and the mind fills with wonder that cannot be rendered into words.
Each work of art by Sylvie Gedda brings to the surface special facets of the enigmatic worlds that lie behind the curtain of so-called reality."
