Sylvia Gonzalez grew up surrounded by the work of Op Art masters — her uncle, Wilfredo Arcay, was a master serigrapher in Paris who worked with Victor Vasarely and Yaacov Agam — so it is perhaps no surprise that colour, layering and visual depth became the foundations of her practice. Today she works in monotype, building richly complex surfaces through multiple layers of lithographic and etching inks, text, pattern and colour on heavyweight printmaking paper, each layer shifting between translucence and opacity to create works of luminous, unpredictable depth. The process is deliberately open-ended: she begins without knowing where each piece will end, allowing the image to emerge through the making. When the monotype feels complete, she returns to the surface with charcoal pencil and soft pastel, drawing birds and animals from life, sketch and photograph — bringing the natural world into quiet focus against the abstract ground beneath.
