Born in Belfast in 1990, Venetia Syms studied classical portraiture at Charles Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy and went on to University College Falmouth and the Heatherley’s School of Fine Art in London. Her paintings have been exhibited across the U.K, Amsterdam and New York. Syms also had an exhibition at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2021 and 2022. She says: “I experiment and develop my style through the medium of the natural world. My style is bold both in the use of colour and handling of paint. My Paintings explore the effects of texture, colour, light and pattern. My process involves applying layers of colour and texture to create a fearless statement, 'celebrating' nature with a 'celebration' of colour. I love the frenzy and excitement that comes from a large, mixed palette of colour, finding tonal harmonies amongst the chaos.”
