This exhibition invites viewers into the mysterious depths of the ocean, exploring the fluidity and movement of nature through abstract acrylic paintings.

The show weaves together the themes of school of fish, waves, and the deep sea, capturing the ever-changing, rhythmic energy of underwater life.

Through dynamic brushstrokes, vibrant color palettes, and textured layers, Sylvie delves into the complexities of the sea, illustrating both its serenity and its wild, unpredictable forces.

The paintings evoke the swarming motion of schools of fish, creating a sense of harmony and interconnectedness, while also showcasing the power of waves as they crash and roll.

The deeper, darker realms of the ocean are explored through rich, deep hues and swirling patterns that suggest the mystery and depth of the sea.

Each piece immerses the viewer in a different aspect of ocean life—whether the calm, flowing currents, the fast-paced movement of fish, or the quiet solitude of the deep sea.

By abstracting these oceanic elements, the artist encourages viewers to step away from literal representations and instead experience the sea in a new, emotional way—through the language of color, form, and texture.

Currents of the Deep is a journey into the heart of the ocean, a place where nature’s raw beauty and endless motion are reimagined in a mesmerizing display of acrylic artistry.
