Edgy and refine all in the same breath, very complex in nature with a delicate balance.

About Me:

Artist Story: Sylvia Pekarek
I first realized that creating Art was embedded in the depths of my soul was when I was in the first grade, because I would arrive early to class just to fill the chalk board with my Art. I felt this was my way of observing the world and expressing my thoughts. I found Art to be my answer... Later on I attended San Francisco Academy of Art University, I studied and majored in Graphic Design, along with fine art classes.

My career in the Arts included teaching painting, drawing, 3d art, ceramics, and various arts and crafts classes. I was featured in the San Mateo paper as one of the lead teachers in the City Art program. One of the most rewarding moments in my life is seeing my students arrive early to class, (as I once did) with the sheer excitement and joy to work on "their Art." I can remember when I was seven, attending a ceramic class and loving the whole idea of being part of a creative class.

I believe the greatest visionaries show strength through their creative imagination process, this alone is so powerful. My personal view is that Art is the truest and purest form of communication. This process sets forth a clear translation of the "observation of the world."

I aspire my Art work to be spontaneous, momentous & dynamic, infused with the passion I have for life. I like to use mix media to bring forth the complexity of life's profound moments. I believe this helps bring depth into my work. At times I may start a painting, or sketch and then capture it into my computer to enhance it digitally. I am part of the "digital generation," it swims in my veins... I am like the pianist who uses the piano, to create music. I play the computer like an instrument and let the creativity flow as I work. I also love feeling the brush in my hand, stroking the canvas with pigments, I will never abandon that process completely. The computer allows my flurry thoughts to bring forth directness of intent, much more rapidly, capturing the moment.

Artwork: Secrets

Artwork inspired by the music of: Adam Hurst Original Cello Music

Life's demanding decisions beckons me so, it is now time to step back to see clearly, what has been so evident. I am back with a clearer understanding of the important ingredients of life, and a little bit of the awareness of the secrets o… Continue

Artwork: Venus

Digital Art Inspired by the song: Shocking Blue - Venus (1970)

Lyrics:
A goddess on a mountain top
Was burning like a silver flame,
The summit of beauty and love,
And Venus was her name.

She's got it,
Yeah… Continue

I don't have a copy of that image here in Canada only in the UK and on artreview magazine website - however..... I will be doing more pieces that use equations from Quantum literature - a way of asking how do quantum particles relate to the world of art! Yes more coming soon, best from Luke ::)

So sorry for the long wait, I'm not been too well and combined with starting my new online Artspace business, the time seems to have flown.

I'm grateful for your kind comments, coming from a talent such as yours certainly, means a great deal to me. I do have some more sedate pieces online on my site www.artworkxofmann.com Really, I think you should view the works of the Feature Artist Lynn Ansell, as her work, energy and imagine far outshine anything I could create.

Regards

Roberto
