Sylvia Waterloo
I was born in Aruba and I live in Holland. I draw and I paint.
I graduated from Art academy Haarlem in The Netherlands, a five years education from 2009 – 2014, aimed at becoming an independent artist.
I paint with acrylic paint or oil paint. I like to use mixed media in my paintings, such as paper, charcoal, oil pastel, sand.
I enjoy working with charcoal on paper.
I prefer to make large works on canvas or paper.
I love the sea
I paint boats
I am interested in harbors
I get excited when leaving a harbor to discover new places
I am fascinated by harbor structures, like cranes
I like industrial structures
I use these in my works in order to visualize and express my feelings
I need to be touched by something to make good works
I am driven by themes like power, suppression and rebellion
I am driven by themes like life, death and hope
I love my Caribbean island
