About Me

Hi, I’m Sylvia. I’m an artist, a collage maker, and someone who’s learning—day by day—how to return to herself.

I didn’t start out as an artist.
I studied business. I worked in marketing. I had an office job that paid well and looked good on paper.
And yet… it never felt quite right.

When that job ended, I didn’t look back.
For the first time in years, I started creating again—quietly, slowly, intuitively.
Paper scraps turned into stories. Shapes became reflections.
What began as a personal experiment has grown into a daily practice.

Today, I create minimalist, abstract collages using cut paper and instinct.
My work is influenced by Bauhaus design, vintage textures, and the rhythms of everyday life.
Each piece is a moment of presence. A visual breath.

I live in a small town in Germany—a place that finally feels like home.
And through this work, I’m finding a new definition of success:
One that has more to do with meaning, alignment, and creativity than with titles or approval.

This space is part of that journey.
Thanks for being here.

— Sylvia
