Moi Sylvie Guillot

Born in 1972, graduate of the Versailles School of Arts
Lives and works in Paris.

Over the years my work has gradually focused on the theme I like best, the human figure and more particularly the nude.
The representation of the body is, for me, an inexhaustible field of study.
I like the ideas of tension and movement, using compositions where the body seems either to stretch, to fall or to huddle up.
I also like to emphasize the tension within the body by drawing  contorted torsos, sharp shoulders or strong and nervous hands.
I try to balance the powerful tension  thus created with quieter areas in the painting where the eye can rest.  Mixing these two opposing elements aims at creating a certain dynamism which brings the painting to life...just like a human being.
