Sylvia Troconis is an Austin-based visual artist who creates eclectic, colorful and contemporary 3D mixed media artworks.

Sylvia’s work investigates the interaction between color, materials and a combination of techniques including sculpture, painting and mark making. Her work is minimalist in concept but complex in technique. Her simple, elegant sculptural forms combine a refined sense of modernist color-blocking with the hard edges of precision cutting technologies, and the warmth of natural wood. She is as comfortable creating larger format wall art and installations to intimate 3D geometric sculptures, as well as a range of design-infused collaborative works with fellow creatives. 

A fascination with art, architecture, fashion and design has been with the artist from the very beginning. These things, and an ever-evolving interest in science (physics and chemistry) are all echoed in her creative process. A visual dialogue between these multiple worlds arises — on a conceptual level, the level of materiality and the level of techniques. 

About her drive to create sculptural works, the artist says "What I love about working on 3-D assemblages is the opportunity to evoke a sense of discovery in viewers, as they encounter a piece for the first time. In my mind, it's similar to that childlike sense of wonder we experienced as children when everything was new to us, and we were learning about ourselves as well as the world around us. Add to that my predilection for working with power tools, and the ability to play with negative space on flat surfaces, and I'm in my element." 

The production of sculptural works with a sense of bright, joyful confidence is a hallmark of Sylvia Troconis' work. In addition to creating her own signature pieces, Sylvia also enjoys collaborating with trade professionals on unique art commissions, and creating bespoke Troconis + Zinna works for individual clients. Whether it's transforming corporate offices with striking installations or bringing personal visions to life, Sylvia approaches each project with dedication and a commitment to exceeding expectations.

In her spare time, Sylvia enjoys exploring Austin’s variety of eclectic art, culinary, and cultural experiences with her husband Guillermo, her children, Diego and Gustavo, and their dog Keiki.
