Sylvia Laks’ portraits are drawn from diverse themes and influences, including the human body, identity, memory, landscape, and spirituality. Working with a variety of materials, from charcoal and pastel drawings to oil painting on linen, Laks invites us to explore a myriad of mythical and mystical worlds from the realms of her imagination.
In this painting, Laks explores a spiritual and dreamlike vision through the depiction of a woman with her hair flowing down the canvas in a cascade of blue and white shimmery hues. The woman’s head is looking up, her neck arched and a hawk soars gracefully across the canvas, creating a sense of freedom, transcendence and euphoria. The combination of the woman’s fluid, flowing hair and the hawk’s ethereal presence evokes a connection to the imaginary and spiritual realms, as well as the embodiment of feminine power.
Laks’s ability to blend realism with elements of the mystical and symbolic provides viewer with thought-provoking experiences. She focuses on the psychological expression of her characters, tapping into their emotions and inviting you to glimpse into their souls, and unravel their curious narratives. Sylvia Laks’ portraits are enigmatic, where feminine beauty unites with powerful natural forces, creating a delicate balance that is both soothing and unsettling.
