Sylvia Cohen

Montreal artist with a degree in fine arts,  after choosing to a career in fashion design, I rediscovered the love for art and  painting.

My goal is to create paintings that are striking and intriguing, finding inspiration in my fashion design roots, pop culture and beauty icons. I find myself drawn to images of women that are edgy and strong. Working primarily with acrylics, I constantly explore different mediums while incorporating mixed media in my  paintings.

My work explores the strength, beauty and mystery of women (and lately men). I want the viewer to discover emotions the painting invokes in them and to examine how they relate to their own experience.
