Artist's Statement Time for changes and new beginnings - every soul has a journey in their life and all things are fated along this path. During these times there are often many tests and challenges which one must go through, in order to learn and grow. My name is 'Sylvia' which in Latin means 'forest elf'. As a young child I was always fascinated with nature. The moment I could hold a pen to draw I was lost in my own world. This was a happy and natural state to be in.
I have come to the realisation through my path as an artist I can bring into this world the finer energies of nature, combined with the ability to tune into the spiritual realm.
![]() Artist's Review Being self-taught, Sylvia Meissner has developed her own technique to portray landscapes and floral designs. The artist utilises a variety of colours that enhance light and movement, and uses the brush to create fine points on the canvas. These are sometimes single dots, and in other cases the dots overlap to create different colours. This individual style is unusual and highly technical. The placement of dots in each painting taps into the spiritual realm of 'chi' energy. Everything in life is made up of matter and energy, and the world of this highly creative artist reflects the fine structures found in the universe. With her very personal expression of art, the artists reveals colour, movement, energy and intense passion that create a wonderful flow of paint on the canvas. Some of the artworks contain a metallic medium of opal, gold and silver that reflects the true property of light. The images created through this medium give a three-dimensional effect, making the paintings highly interesting and complex.
