Distant Familiar

Sylvia La explores human stories through the visual narrative tools of figure, gesture, and cultural and personal symbols. She is a mixed media artist, and works with oils, canvas, watercolor, ink, papers, resistance, accidents, and other materials the world offers.

Sylvia’s art is about observation, seeing, and learning, and is fueled by her experiences and political and spiritual consciousness. The foundation of her art practice is life drawing, particularly figure drawing and portraiture. She believes that if one can take the time to intimately observe a thing or being in life, one can learn a lot about the world and its nature.
