Sylvan grew up in Titirangi among the lush Waitakere Ranges, where he found himself surrounded by nature and an array of creative minds. He attended Whitecliffe College of Art and Design in Auckland where he explored many techniques and media including photography, painting, drawing, digital formats, printing and sculpture. His principal work activity involves freelance graphic art and design while his personal art focuses on explorations of the mind and going beyond the superficial.
The work explores visionary, spiritual and psychedelic realms.
Because of the infinite scope of this kind of art, his palette is broad and colour plays a huge part, as does pattern, symmetry, iconic motif, repetition, perspective and illusion. Observers taking a closer look at the imagery will be rewarded as his work is often quite layered and textured.
