About The Artwork

Inspired by a conversation I had with my young friend. In response to her complaints, I was about to say – Don’t go down without a fight, but after some thought, I decided it was not good advice (so I haven't said anything). Sometimes it's better and easier to leave without saying a word and start a new stage of life. Then the book "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu came to my mind. And that's how I come up with the idea of this painting. The painting was supposed to be very simple, its strong point is the idea behind the work, not the execution of the artwork itself. I left one square empty, so the viewer is encouraged to think about his own ideas on this subject "Sun Tzu was a Chinese general, military strategist, writer, and philosopher who lived in the Eastern Zhou period of ancient China. Sun Tzu is traditionally credited as the author of The Art of War, an influential work of military strategy that has affected both Western and East Asian philosophy and military thinking. His works focus much more on alternatives to battle, such as stratagem, delay, the use of spies and alternatives to war itself, the making and keeping of alliances, the uses of deceit, and a willingness to submit, at least temporarily, to more powerful foes.[3] Sun Tzu is revered in Chinese and East Asian culture as a legendary historical and military figure".

Hi, I am Sylvia, I was born and raised in a small Polish city near the Polish-German border. In my art, I try to describe our times – with the main point on language, culture and woman issues - problems, identity, gender. To connect Words with concepts. Art offers an incredible opportunity to communicate -- using as few words as possible.- - with people of all languages and all backgrounds – we can interchange ideas, present certain points of view, transmit them one to another, and even without direct contact, we communicate. During my art studies (postgraduate) I took part in some open juried international art calls for artists. As a result, my first exhibitions were juried international ones. The one I’m especially proud of is 12th Global Biennale of Graphic Design Golden Bee, where the members of preselection online jury came from South Korea, Iran, Czech Republic, Switzerland, USA, Japan and Ukraine and the members of the main jury were from Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Russia, Estonia, and the USA. My poster “Dante For Ever” got included in the final exhibition and printed catalog. This event had a huge impact on me, as I found out that my art, in this case, poster art can be understood by people of different cultural ties and backgrounds. After graduation I was supplementing my income by working as a translator in a press agency – that was a great experience that opened my eyes on global issues, and since that time, I try to follow (by internet) all the most interesting topics that will have global impact like e.ex elections in the US. I follow also some of the congressional hearings, as they are much more interesting than feature films ; - ) I hope one day I will visit the USA and the Capitol and watch Congress in session; -) I never know where the inspiration will come from; sometimes it is a short press article, or “breaking news”, sometimes it is a sentence, or an object or a place. That is why I reach for so many seemingly incompatible topics and themes while working with many different techniques. In my digital art, I only use the photos I made, including sometimes pieces of my previous artworks, that I destroyed for a number of different reasons.
