Sablyne | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Using mixed techniques, Sablyne has created, over the years, a personal approach that brings together collages, acrylic painting, dry pastels, ink drawings and photography. Her artistic approach is not set and the artist adapts her practice to the subject she wishes to work on, opting sometimes to draw using Indian ink or to make mixed installations. Inspired by "shadow puppets from Wayang Kulit in Java [Sablyne produces] multi-coloured habitats populated by characters with multi-coloured hairstyles and clothes." She makes her compositions with natural materials from which the simple faces of women emerge, gracefully sketched and always positioned to face sideways. In order for the piece to transmit only pure emotion to the viewer, the artist focuses her attention on the subjects' attitude and opts for the single stroke.
