Sylvie Pulur

Sylvie Pulur is a self-taught artist of Armenian origin who has been drawing since she was very young and especially during her adolescence. She arrived in France at the age of 5 years, an immigration which was made following the death of her father. She needed to forget the pain of her mother and to escape. This is how her passion for art began. Multi technique, she juggles according to her desires using the following techniques: drawing, Charcoal, ink, watercolor, oil, pastel ... Drawing has always been a real ally for her during the difficult moments of her life. Art is in a way a force that has allowed her to express herself and to escape, to give free rein to her imagination. 

Her artistic inspirations are marked by very significant periods of her life: "The Marines", for example, represent the period of her arrival in France by boat. She loves the works of Ivan Aivazovsky for his seascapes. She admires the transparency of the waves, the reflections on the water, and the union between the sky and the sea. 

Fan of the Roaring Twenties and Art Deco, many of her sketches (more than a hundred) in charcoal, charcoal, graphite and pastel, represent women: naked, of various origins and horizons. She is very inspired by black and white photographs and artists such as Tamara de Lempicka, for the cinematic setting in her works and Edward Hopper, for his paintings of everyday American life in the 1930s. She really got back into it when time allowed, as a great need for both expression and release became necessary for her mind to cope with the loss of loved ones. Art is a way to express her feelings.
