The torchbearer
- • Sylvaine cannot conceive modernity without tradition
- • She’s fascinated by Asia, Persian miniatures and ancient legends
- • Her workshop has always been open to everyone
Sylvaine Gorgo worked as a stone cutter, cutting marble, granite and other stones in their raw forms for paved walkways, basins, and fountains, before dedicating herself to hard stone marquetry. The story of this self-taught artist is intimately tied to the family of the late artist Wladislav Bebko, who passed on the torch to her when they entrusted her with his stone marquetry workshop. Practising what she calls the big gap between decoration and personal creations, she carries out special orders using commesso and intarsia techniques and develops her own language using almost exclusively inlays on stone. Using marble slabs as a backdrop to tell her stories is the most fulfilling way for her to express herself.
