Sylvia Schwenk, multidisciplinary visual artist
Sylvia is a Berlin-based multidisciplinary artist. She looks at the world and then represents it differently, in ways that are simple, playful and quietly humorous. Her work is held in public and private collections including Museum für Sepulkralkultur in Kassel, Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre in Sydney, and Stanford University in California.
Featured Projects
your thoughts become your world
An ongoing series of abstract paintings organised around seasonal palettes and temporal rhythms. Through repeated shapes, inversions, and subtle variations, connections unfold across the works. Colour and form shift gradually, making perception an active, meditative process.
absurdity
absurdity draws on true events from Sylvia’s six-month attachment to a Federal Government Taskforce when she was a Chartered Accountant. Working across ceramic sculptures, paintings, drawings, and illustrated short stories, this ongoing project examines how people navigate rigid systems and structures of control. The work is comical and unsettling in equal measure.
