Painted Stained Glass
The Mystical World of Sylvia Laks
Born in 1959 and currently residing in Heredia, Laks has dedicated her life to the arts, weaving mystical and mythical narratives through her paintings and stained-glass work.
Her realist portraiture, rich with themes of identity, memory, and spirituality, brings to life witches, elves, and the intricate female form, often exploring themes of pregnancy and feminine spirituality. Each piece is an invitation into the psychological depths of her characters, offering a glimpse into their souls and unraveling their mysterious stories.
Mastery in Stained-Glass Art
Laks' expertise in stained-glass art extends to the preservation of historical heritage. She has honed her craft since the age of 25, mastering the grisaille technique to control pigments, temperature, and glass textures.
Her stained-glass work has significantly contributed to the restoration of many of Costa Rica's historic churches, making her a key figure in the world of Costa Rican stained-glass art.
Laks breathes life into architectural spaces, creating enchanting atmospheres as light passes through her meticulously crafted glass. Her dedication to this art form has cemented her reputation as a central figure in Latin American art.
As Laks herself beautifully stated, "A wonderful atmosphere is created when light passes through glass."
Celebrating Costa Rican Painting
Beyond her stained-glass work, Sylvia Laks' talent in Costa Rican painting is equally compelling. Her oil paintings on linen and charcoal and pastel drawings are celebrated for their emotional depth and enigmatic beauty.
Laks' paintings have been showcased widely across Costa Rica, including notable exhibitions at the North American Cultural Center Group in San Pedro and the Talentum Gallery in San José.
Her work is a distinctive feature of the Costa Rica art scene and a must-see for those looking to support and buy Costa Rican art.
