Andy Sylvester Artist

Welcome to my site! This site highlights some of my work across different genres.

​

As a painter, I work primarily using acrylic pigments on board or card building images over a period of time. I reference photographic sources, gathered during face-to-face sittings or utilising socially shared images. I am especially fascinated by the ‘selfie’ as a new form of portraiture.

I am interested in the way that colour, line, mark and texture within my work. My work often makes reference to art history, literature,

classicism and symbolism to evoke a narrative or an emotion. 

​

I have work in several public and private collections.  I am available for commissioned portraits. 

​
