About Synnöve Seidman

Born in Toronto, Canada currently living in British Columbia. From minimal design to maximalist detail. What is constant in my art is vivid colour, dynamism and energy. Nature is my cathedral, it is where I find inspiration. My current work is asking the question does the world embody beautiful ideas? I strongly believe in the restorative power of beauty as an important balm on the anxiety of modern life. Abstract landscapes, city structures and botanical elements find their way into many of my compositions.
