Marianne Charlotte Mylonas-svikovsky

I live in Geneva, Switzerland and am Swiss and Austrian, from Vienna; also other european origins further back. With my parents I stayed here and there for three or four years at a time, like Montreal, in the swiss mountains, Lugano (italian part of Switzerland) Los Angeles USA, Tunisia, Greece, Vienna, Rome and then settled down in Geneva that I love. I was born in 1941 so have seen and gone through lots, all registered in my mind and soul which one day needs to burst out. Then I take the brush, a knife, my fingers whatever and plunge into the canvas working until a little voice inside me says: "that's it now"!

I started painting at the age of twelve and never quite stopped. It was at UCLA, Los Angeles, where I lived for four years, that I majored in Art. They taught me to just go ahead and paint and feel free and that just corresponds my inner self and need. My work is intuitive, instinctive and talks about what moves me, sometimes recent world events, personal feelings, atmospheres, vibations through lines and the choice of colours the composition- It can be meaningful abstracts or figurative inspired images in original compositions or poetic images like atmospheres, sky and sea, snow , imagined but never copied

I only have one or two exhibitions a year here in Geneva, most of the time solo, but also in Milano and London. I also translate the images in words and am a performing poet; paintings and words with music go so well together. My work is really very personal and my hand just follows, with the varied techniques I manage, to relate what moves me or then reproduces, like a snapshot, although never copies, i have withhold in my mind.

World emotionally impacting events and earth extraordinary phenomena

World emotionally impacting happenings and events, pictures of natural phenomena, atmospheres

In the tornado's eye, acrylic, 80/60 cm “In the tornado's eye, acrylic, 80/60 cm”

It waas during a summer when there where so many tornadoes in the USA and often images of them were shown on television. So I just felt like giving color to a huge cylone and imagined being in the center of it. I seemed obvious to me that it should be red, yellow and green surrounded by black. I love doing those quick, dynamic circles which I accentuate a little afterwards, but the first stroke must be just right, done very quickla and decisively. Asian have recognized this in my painting a fact that the practice their whole lifetime. I also wanted to represent the power and tremendous strength of this phenomena.

Northen lights acrylic on canvas, 90cm/60cm, 3cm “Northen lights acrylic on canvas, 90cm/60cm, 3cm”

That year the news talked a lot about the beautiful northern lights and I felt like taking up the theme. What I wanted to show is the rapidity they swish around in the sky and the awe and wonder they provoke. So I chose strong pastel colours. I can say this now but I just got down to painting with the idea of northern lights and this is the image that came forth. I integrate something and it gushes forth, mind and hand acting together. Besides that, by itself, it's a smashing image and composition I had great pleasure painting.

Exoplanet oil and acrylic on canvas, 1m/1m/ 3 cm. “Exoplanet oil and acrylic on canvas, 1m/1m/ 3 cm. ”

It was the big news in 2014 that the first planet outside of our galaxy had been discovered by an astrophysician way up the mountain of St.Luc, in the swiss Alps, in the Valais, in a tiny typical chalet village, by his small but powerful enough telescope The man just coudn't believe it that this tiny dot on his sky should be something so extraordinary - a planet in another galaxy! So he sent out a message, asking for confirmation to all observatories in the world and next morning he got confirmation from the big Mount Palomar observator in California. Wow he had hit the jackpot! So, I wanted to depict this planet moving along in space, a space with many colorful things happening in it, moving along like on a screen and this big golden ball full of sort of lives on it, pushing along, surrounded by it's glow and a strange even space sound resounding everywhere.

World's madness spreading like a flood - Syria. 80cm H/60 cm W, 2cm, Acylic 22.2013 “World's madness spreading like a flood - Syria. 80cm H/60 cm W, 2cm, Acylic 22.2013”

I painted this when happenings in Syria really got bad, inondating the whole area with islamism and atrocities. Painted in the fury of the news.

When the world became aware in 2013 of the Lampedusa tragedy off the shores of the little italian isle of Lampedusa; people fleeing Syria's war and massacers, and drowning in the sea. Under the emotion of these events, I took the brush and the red paint tube and this cross of dripping blood came forth ...

The mangrove, Bresil. Oil 1,20H-1m, 2cm. 07.2011 “The mangrove, Bresil. Oil 1,20H-1m, 2cm. 07.2011”

The mangrove in Bresil: water, plants all over, muddy earth, sun trying to filter through the luxurious, entangled vegetation. Again one of those works I plunge in with the knife, quickly before it dries and give the finishing touch after here and there but hardly any in this one. The difficulty is to know when to stop.

The huge red moon, hitting you right in the eye, so low in the sky, like a huge red balloon, this is what I wanted to paint in a black sky as smooth as a laquered japanese box with nothing else. I wanted the moon to really stick out, so it is structed

Helping hands against despair, acrylic 90H/60W, 3cm “Helping hands against despair, acrylic 90H/60W, 3cm”

Throughout history there have been moments when helping hands were needed, confidence and hope. Today in one of those moments and I wanted to represent it in a painting. These three figures almost happened by themselves and I just had to accentuate them. This sometimes happens when I paint under emotional feelings about dramatic news, the mind and heart guide the hand and a miracle happens. There is nothing intelectual or planned about it.

A crasy, imaginative work of what could be happening up there, swirling and floating around bringing colour and light to darkness, our darkness we forever question. Acrylic 70H/60W cm, 2cm. 2016 ”

Part of my "Our world" theme, this crasy painting is quite atypical for me but it just happened and I enjoyed painting it till the very end. What is up there, what are these worlds we eternally question, study, imagine and lend meaning to. These fantasy shapes swirling around, floating through the darkness, are somewhat linked and talking to us, bringing colour and life to the all englobing darkness, our own darkness...

Red moon, acrylic 60L/50H cm, 3 cm. Like a japanese laquer box, just one golden-red moon “Red moon, acrylic 60L/50H cm, 3 cm. Like a japanese laquer box, just one golden-red moon”

Vibrations through lines and colors

Vibrations through lines and choice of colours is one of my themes, object of an exhibition in 2014 in Milano and Geneva. The works may be partly structured so as to accntuate a facet of the atmosphere I want to convey. Color association is most important in arousing these vibrations.

Atmospheres, light, and sky, poetic images

Sometimes I feel like rendering a certain atmosphere, a specific time of the day or the season, the colors of a place, a specific sky in an abstract but also figurative way. Since I'm also a poet, it can also be a poetic image instead of a description in words

I painted this for the Diego Velazquez Prize which it was betoken and inspired myself of the great masters artworks , I felt that his world was a closed one, a theater whose curtains would never open, with the spectators eternally waiting for the play to start. There is no emotion in this paintings , so in mine none also. But he loved the big curtains that were in style at court in those days.

Emotions, emotional action

There was a time i was so full of émotions they just spurt out of me on the canvas, sometimes even the feet, the hands and the fingers had to participate; it just happened on the spur of the moment. These are almost all oil paintings and it sure was exhilarating to walk in the paint or smear it on the canvases.

La Mamma. Acrylic on canvas “La Mamma. Acrylic on canvas”

La mamma... with her two children ... like my son painted it;mothers always seem to be painted much taller than the children in children's paintings although it might change a little now, it is a stylized painting

Meaningful abstracts. The urge to paint without preconceived idea, just a link to the present behind it

Sometimes I like to paint an abstract but there is always somekind of meaning behind it, to which there is a link in the present or past. It's mainly the pleasure of painting and the pressure it excerts to pass to action without any preconceived idea.

Follow the light, acrylic 70H/60Lcm, 2 cm. In the darkness, follow the light and it's shimmerings. Inspired by pointillism “Follow the light, acrylic 70H/60Lcm, 2 cm. In the darkness, follow the light and it's shimmerings. Inspired by pointillism”

This painting started as a complete abstract, without any preconceived idea, except the pleasure of painting. As there are several layers of paint and the consequent irregularities, layer after layer and scratching produced a pointilism effect and shimmering effect. I accentuated an upward mouvement of white, that is light which led me to the title, corresponding to my life-moto I always come back to.

Looking at the future... The Metropolis acrylic 1.20m W/ 1mH, 2 cm. 02.09.2016. Hectic busy rapid life amongst the skyscrapers “Looking at the future... The Metropolis acrylic 1.20m W/ 1mH, 2 cm. 02.09.2016. Hectic busy rapid life amongst the skyscrapers”

As if looking into the future to see what our lives would look like in a big metropolis like New York... Even more people rushing around, more lights, more fast trains, more noise, an even more dynamic life

Lots of new ideas for the futur popping up in our active dynamic minds ...acrylic 80cm H/60cm W, 2cm. 27.10.2016 “Lots of new ideas for the futur popping up in our active dynamic minds ...acrylic 80cm H/60cm W, 2cm. 27.10.2016”

On a red-hot whirling background representing our todays active world and minds, forever searching for excellence, I found this way to represent thoses many ideas cropping up like lots of pop-ups, in our minds, one brilliant one in particular, although the smallest but maybe the most promising one of them all... Ideas and ideas, little lights rising constantly in our lives into the future to bring light and progress

And when the past breaks through... acrlic 80 x 60cm, 2 cm. Mind and heart dipping down into the past, it's volours hidden behind a shimmering veil “And when the past breaks through... acrlic 80 x 60cm, 2 cm. Mind and heart dipping down into the past, it's volours hidden behind a shimmering veil”

Christmas is often a period when memories break through into the present and suddenly you dip down into all these colourful memories, like hidden behind a shimmering veil, the present retreating for a moment

Pure 2 blue . Taking the wave, acrylic 80 cm H x 60 cm W. 2018 “Pure 2 blue . Taking the wave, acrylic 80 cm H x 60 cm W. 2018”

This painting is a blue and white harmony of 10 shades of blue and white. It looks like a wave one has to take like in life or then an opening up towards novelty. Several faces can be detected in the white shapes at the bottom

Festive winter days. Acrylic on canvas. 60 cm x 60 cm. 2018 “Festive winter days. Acrylic on canvas. 60 cm x 60 cm. 2018”

Imagine looking out the window to see snowflakes falling just for Christmas ... little flakes of joy just like the happiness about this unique day, the joy snow brings to those who love it, skying, skating, gliding down a rough slope on a sleigh or in a horse drawn sleigh though the white countryside to a a little village of chalets... I used this painting for my Christmas card this year

Et Luc fuerit! Let light come. Acrylic on canvas 120 x 100 cm. 2018 “Et Luc fuerit! Let light come. Acrylic on canvas 120 x 100 cm. 2018”

This is like present world with all it's tensions and happenings and the rising of a new brave world like a big moon and beyond full of humanities hopes and wishes

Abstract expessionism

Sometimes I feel like painting an abstract and this happens most times when I am in a specific mood and like a force pushing me to paint, to take the brush and colours and go for it, let it come out, whatever it is. And then the title, since there has to be a title because Untitled does not mean anything, becomes obvious. At a certain undetermined point, Inside me, a little voice then says "now stop" and the painting is finished but I have expessed somehting, some feeling, some questioning inside me which has been given expression on the canvas

Profumo di donna, acylic 60W/70H cm, 2cm. An whiff of an alluring ladies perfume “Profumo di donna, acylic 60W/70H cm, 2cm. An whiff of an alluring ladies perfume”

I had this idea of representing a whiff of an alluring ladie's perfume, passing by, catching the eye and calling forth desire like in the film in which Marcelle Mastroiani played a blind man fascinated by ladies perfumes

This is anger, acrylic 80W/60h cm, 2 cm. Painted on a day when I was stark angry “This is anger, acrylic 80W/60h cm, 2 cm. Painted on a day when I was stark angry”

This work was painted on a day I was stark angry and just had to get rid of some of it.... It is thick colour right out of the tube

You lips are on my mind, acrylic, 70 H cm/90 cm L, 3 cm, a japanese inspired painting that was pre-selected for the big ART FAiR in Taïpei, Shanghaï “You lips are on my mind, acrylic, 70 H cm/90 cm L, 3 cm, a japanese inspired painting that was pre-selected for the big ART FAiR in Taïpei, Shanghaï ”

The colours and the whole composition looks like wlaking through a japanese garden, says a japanese friend... while remembering your loved ones lips...

An urge for happiness, acrylic 80 x 60 cm, 2 cm, “An urge for happiness, acrylic 80 x 60 cm, 2 cm, ”

On on painted background, a splash of colors corresponding to my urge to flee boredom and catch happiness.

New realities emerging. Acrylic on canvas 80 x 80 m. 07.11.2018 “New realities emerging. Acrylic on canvas 80 x 80 m. 07.11.2018”

Our world is changing fast on a dark background but new realities are emerging in all directions, new managerial habits, clusters for efficiency, a new, hopefully golden, harmony

Taking off to the stratosphere. Acrylic on canvas, 60 cm x 60 cm “Taking off to the stratosphere. Acrylic on canvas, 60 cm x 60 cm”

Thinking of these flights for you and me into the stratosphere, this urge to Infinity, to beyond ourselves...

Golden lights in the night. Acrylic on canvas. 60 cm x 60 cm. 2018 x “Golden lights in the night. Acrylic on canvas. 60 cm x 60 cm. 2018 x ”

I felt like painting an abstract, no more than just that. The colors are those of a cosy winter interior of rich warm colors,reminding of a baroque atmosphere of the festive period

GENESIS. Indian ink on canvas 9' x 60 cm 2019 “GENESIS. Indian ink on canvas 9' x 60 cm 2019”

This work is presented in the Art Book by EA Editore of WOA World of Art Art, London "The Best Modern and Contemporary Artists of 2019".
I felt like painting another Indian ink and since there was much talk about another discovery in astrophysics, I guess I painted intuitively this work that looks like the origin of our world taking shape.

Sceneries like daydreams or nightdreams

Inspired by my mental representations of various sceneries I have seen during my life, these daydreams and nightdreams sometimes surge from inside me. It is the atmospheres, the colours, the general view that I represent and not a copied scene although they might recall a specific one

Color Puzzles. Abstracts of various color combinations but not of perfect repeated geometric forms, neverless in perfectly harmonious combination

I thought of the colors of my painting "Social media leaking..." of a style and new effect and color combination. I thought of painting a another work assorted to this one as far as the colors are concerned. So this completely abstract form was born and in the end il looked like a puzzle. It wasn't that easy to make both sides harmonize and to achieve shadings in all sections except the turquoise ones
