Every portrait Sylvia creates begins with a conversation and ends with something no one else will ever have. She works entirely by hand using recycled cardboard and paper — no paint, no digital tools, nothing manufactured. What emerges is a face with texture, depth, and a quiet kind of life to it.

Her portraits don’t aim for photographic likeness. They aim for something harder to name — the feeling of a person, their energy, the thing that makes them recognizable even in silence. She can incorporate meaningful details: glasses, a signature hairstyle, an earring that matters.

What to expect: The creative process takes approximately four weeks from the time we connect. Portraits begin at $700 depending on size and complexity — a small price for something that will never exist twice.
