Fajfrowska

Sylvie Fajfrowska is a graduate of Beaux-Arts de Paris.

Her work was presented at the Grand-Palais during the first edition of La Force de l'Art, at the exhibition "A century of realism in painting in France" at the MASP in Sao Paulo and at MARGS in Porto Allegre. The SPSI Museum in Shanghaï, the National Galleries of the Tapestry of Beauvais, the Cultural Institute of Macao, the Palace of the Popes in Avignon have also exhibited his works. Her paintings are in public collections in France and abroad (FNAC, FRAC Ile-de-France, FRAC Franche-Comté, Musée d'Art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg, Frieder Burda Museum in Baden-Baden...).

Professor of drawing after a living model at the New Academy for Amateurs, her teaching is based on morphology, apprehending the body through simple forms in order to succeed in positioning it in space and finding the right proportions. Several techniques are approached (graphite, charcoal, pastel, wash, feather...) so that each student finds his/her tools and develops his/her drawing with artistic and personal qualities. Notions of perspective, morphology, scale and composition are also developed. It offers various exposure times: during quick exposures, the aim is to capture the movement spontaneously, on long exposures the construction is corrected and the drawing is gradually developed.
