Sylwia Makris

Sylwia Makris attended the Gdynia Orłowo School of Art in Poland, where she initially trained as a sculptor. In 2007, she finally discovered her passion for art photography, which over the years has become her most important visual medium. According to the artist, digital light images hold the potential to unite painting, drawing and sculpture. Inspired by the art of the Old Masters, Sylwia transposes traditional painting techniques into contemporary photography. Her visual language combines well-known subjects with modern thought and prominent personalities, including musicians, actors, models and writers. Her works can be found in German, Polish and American collections. www.sylwiamakris.com
