Sylvia Maier is Brooklyn-based painter known for her portraiture which captures intimate scenes and moments that capture in time. Much of her work focuses on depicting residents of the Flatbush area of Brooklyn, where she has lived for three decades. Many paintings feature friends and neighbors who sat for the artist, and the works are imbued with intense psychological complexity and occasional phantasmagorical elements. Maier combines a naturalistic approach to figuration with tones of magic realism. Working extensively with live models, Maier applies classical sensibilities regarding form, composition and the rendering of light to contemporary - often intensely personal - subjects. A recurring theme throughout the exhibition is the artist’s engagement with the Haitian-American community of Flatbush and its diasporic culture. Sylvia Maier is a native of New York City and her work is very much influenced by her experiences of growing up biracial on the Upper Eastside of NYC. She has been been residing in Brooklyn for the last 20 years.
She has worked with the US State Departments’ Art in Embassies Program. Her paintings have been to several “Art for Life” events for the Russell Simons' Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation, bringing art to underprivileged urban kids. Her artwork was featured in the Wall Street Journal among other publications. Maier's client list includes Mars (the candy company) and M&M’s who has commissioned her several times for the Super Bowl events and commercials. Her clients include Jeep, the TV show “White Collar“ art for films and the “Dan Zanes and Friends show".
She has worked with Spike Lee on an exhibition of paintings as well as on a public service announcement/commercial to commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – for which Spike chose 30 of her paintings
