Colour my world...
with endless creativity
Colour, structured creativity, modernity
and the quest for harmony,
balance and peaceful emotions.
Personality and vitality...
A breath of fresh air, the crossing of artistic
styles. Reinterpretation, innovation and the inevitable
convergence of decor and design.

"I seek to apply constructive clarity and precise proportions to create works that are dynamic yet peaceful, structured yet free and which about all, release positive energy. In this somewhat crazy, stressed-out world, my greatest pleasure is to hear that my work is appreciated for its innovative, contemporary style that is serene and optimistic. Just how life should be!"
Sylvie Hamou is a self-taught contemporary painter, who was born and raised in New Zealand to French and Swiss parents. She then lived in France as an adult before settling in Geneva, Switzerland. This cultural melting pot influences her minimalist approach to geometric constructivism and abstraction. Fuelled by her love of design, she identifies herself as an abstract, geometric and hard-edge painter. Hamou's bold and minimalist compositions follow the codes of concrete and non-objective art, evolving around her quest for harmony and balance and her intrinsic sensitivity to colour. In addition to exploring the notions of space and volume inherent to her geometrical abstraction predecessors, she also incorporates interesting texture and signature dot work.
Over the last decade, Sylvie Hamou has exhibited widely both in Switzerland and abroad (France, USA, Italy, Germany, Luxembourg, Brussels, Spain, London...)
Her work was showcased in Miami/USA during the Art Basel seasons 2013 and 2015, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Japan during the AJAC show in 2016, le Grand Palais in Paris in 2017 and JFK airport/New York (Embler art gallery).
After successful international juried selections Sylvie Hamou presented works at The Other Art Fair in Brooklyn in 2017 and in London in 2018. More recently she has exhibited at ART3f art fairs around Europe.
Today, she co-directs ARTIUM Gallery in the heart of the old town of Geneva, where she exhibits on a regular basis.
Her works are found in private collections worldwide.
