Sylvia Edwards...Artist
Born in Boston, USA, Sylvia Edwards studied painting and illustration in Boston at the Museum of Fine Arts School and the Massachusetts College of Art. Sylvia lived in Iran for fourteen years before moving to Switzerland and then London where she now resides.
Sylvia Edwards draws on her wide travels as an illustrator and journalist as a source of inspiration for her paintings. Sylvia's work is richly decorative, a quality she ascribes to her years spent in Iran, in close appreciation of Islamic Art. Sylvia is equally clear about the influences of Klee, Rothko, Matisse and Milton Avery on her work.
The Art critic, Mel Gooding has written of Sylvia Edwards work: Broadly speaking, there have been two aspects to Sylvia Edwards art: on the one hand there has been a persistent impulse to the sensuous celebration of the visible world; on the other a mystical, even visionary, tendency to a refined, dream-like representation of symbolic figures engaged in an enigmatic spiritual drama.
An artist with a considerable and growing international reputation, Sylvia's work is represented in private collections in Britain, USA, Canada, France, Italy, Holland, Iran, Egypt and Switzerland.
