Sylvie Dagenais

Born in Montreal, Sylvie Dagenais — formerly known under the names Solo and Sylvia DiLore — has traveled extensively, gathering a wealth of shapes, colors, and imagery that continuously nourish and inspire her work.

The artist draws from a wide range of influences shaped by her journeys around the world, which deeply inform her creative process. Her approach is marked by discipline and introspection, and she draws her style from memory and imagination, blending organic and mineral tones to create a contemporary universe. By balancing between the figurative and the non-figurative, she employs formal principles such as large formats, spatial geometrization, and the sculpting of color.

 

For the artist, creation is both a physical and mental act, where images from the unconscious guide her narrative. She hopes her work is experienced as moments of joy, sparking curiosity and creative reactions. Her goal is to share an authentic experience with those who encounter her art.
