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 addition to her paintings and drawings, Laks is a skilled stained glass artist. She owns her own studio where she crafts and restores stained glass pieces while teaching the process. Since age twenty-five, Laks has honed her craft, using the grisaille technique to manipulate pigments, temperature, and glass textures, creating striking atmospheres through the play of light.
Her four-panel stained glass piece depicts a scene from “The Last of the Mohicans,” showcasing native men in a boat approaching the shore, surrounded by a lush, untamed wilderness. Laks’ use of colour in the glass panels brings a dynamic vibrancy to the scene, conveying a sense of adventure and discovery.
The interplay of light and glass infuses the work with depth and movement, immersing the viewer in the narrative. This stained glass artist is a master of capturing scenes and bringing them to life with glass; this literary moment is portrayed with exceptional detail and atmosphere, demonstrating her artistic versatility and technical prowess.
