Technique

The Artist, Sylvia Meissner is self taught - the technique which came to her naturally was founded by the famous French Impressionists of the late 18th Century.

 

Pointillism is a form of painting in which tiny primary – colour dots is used to generate secondary dots. It is an offshoot of Impressionism and is usually classified as a form of Post – Impressionism. Pointillism is the specific style of brushstroke used to apply the paint. The term ”Pointillism“ was first used by Georges Seurat, followed by other Artist’s - Paul Signac and Henri – Edmond Cross.

 

The technique of “Divisionism“ a term invented by Paul Signac, was developed to bring separation of colour dots into a section which then was applied directly onto the canvas. This method produced maximum brilliance scientifically and to avoid muddiness caused by physical mixing of colours before applying them to the Canvas. Divisionism refers to the separation of colour in an area. Seen close to the mass of contrasting dots at a distance, the colours enhance each other to produce an effect of shimmering luminosity.

 

The Artist connects to her work as – “Vibrational colour healing“ which taps into a level of – “Chi energy“. Every Art work has a psychic field of energy that taps into the energy Centres of Mankind. We take light in through in the eyes and absorb it through the Auric field of the body and the skin. Colour is like fuel for the body, each person will be attracted to a particular art work for balance, harmony and healing.
