Sylvie BERTON

Working with found materials such as packaging boxes, bottle caps, coffee grounds, and various shells, Sylvie Berton creates paintings and sculptures that examine nature’s persistent reclaiming of human-made environments. Central to her work is the use of eggshells, drawn by their dual symbolism as both a beginning and an emblem of chaos—reflecting cycles of destruction and renewal. As a self-taught artist, Berton integrates recycling as a core aspect of her practice and maintains a belief in the possibility of positive change through respect for the environment and an awareness of shared existence, even as she acknowledges the impermanence of civilizations.
