Sylvain Yeatman-Eiffel was born in Paris in 1943. On his father side he has American roots and on his mother’s is a direct descendant of the famous architect Gustave Eiffel.
A self-taught painter since 1960, he has created hand painted silks for the couturier Christian Dior, designed modern furniture and has exhibited regularly since 1969. His painting technique follows a personal approach, applying both oil paint and rough materials on his canevas in order to increase contrast and depth with a touch of fresco.
His subject : shadows on walls, their reflection on water, waves unfurling, nymphéas from all over the world, shifting skies of Kythira, dream merged with reality inspiring quiescence and meditation.
Painting in Venice lately, his latest creations study the ever-changing reflections on the water’s surface, which he paints as large triptychs, with a predilection for laundry blown by the wind as it dries above Venice’s canals.
