One Day a Flower – Sylvie Gedda

 Review of the work “Un jour, une fleur” by Sylvie Gedda

“Un jour, une fleur”, a work by Sylvie Gedda , is a 60 x 80 cm creation which magnificently illustrates the artist's unique approach in the exploration of depth, transparencies and plays of light. This work, like so many others, takes advantage of epoxy paste worked in several thicknesses on a wooden support, once again demonstrating Gedda's technical mastery.

Analysis of the work: “Un jour, une fleur” is distinguished by its palette of lively and luminous colors, dominated by shades of bright yellow, contrasted by touches of black, white and blue. The composition is fluid and organic, evoking the graceful and natural movements of a flower in bloom. Circular shapes and ripples of color appear to float and mingle, creating a captivating visual dynamic.

Techniques and supports: Although Gedda has often worked with synthetic glass, this work on wood support demonstrates her versatility and expertise in the use of different materials. The epoxy paste, applied in multiple layers, allows light and colors to be manipulated to create striking effects of translucency and depth. Every nuance and movement of color is carefully orchestrated to maximize visual impact. Gedda's technique, using epoxy paste in successive layers, creates impressive effects of transparency and depth. The play of light on the surface adds an almost three-dimensional dimension to the work, inviting the viewer to explore every detail. The juxtaposition of colors and shapes creates a visual harmony that recalls the beauty and fragility of nature.
