Cinzia (Syndy) Esteves   Visual Artist

Cinzia  lives in Sydney and has recently completed a Fine Art (Honours) degree at UNSW Art & Design and exhibited in the 2017 spring festival in 107 Gallery,  the annual at UNSW Oxford Street Gallery in 2017 ; exhibited at Gaffa Gallery and at  107 in February 2018.

Cinzia’s (Syndy) artwork is aspired by human expressions through experienced ethereal feelings and societal conditions. They investigate ideologies of our everyday social conditions and environments and currently the muse is via the 'childhood' stage that conditions our identities, reflected through mnemonic and cinematic influences.

 Cinzia’s mediums are oil painting and drawing with various mediums such as pencil, colour pencil,  charcoal, pastel and ink.  She mixes her own colours and retains experimenting with palettes crucial in her works.

THE MNEMONIC PANELS

 "Mnemonic visions of life and spoken thoughts, run like a cinema inside my head, in silent images and whispers. The painted images of the mnemonic scenes solidify the affects of what was and what was no more.”

The Lecture

The Family

The Mnemonic 

panels investigate the past conditions of Syndy’s childhood. They reflect a ‘filmed storyboard’ of a singular event, consolidated by the mnemonic influences of the self.  It relates the subjective that replaced the objective, developing from the collective that unifies a family being disrupted to the individualism that took place because of broken relations and dysfunctional external influences.  Thus, relating the affects to identity and self-worth.

The works also investigates the psychological association of colour to mood and relating filmic influences on the mnemonic.  A restricted palette emerged, consolidating the historical colour ‘Cyan’ as a major visual impact that somehow relates the sombre and the melancholic to The Mnemonic Panels.
