Two Poems About Sylvia O
“Poetry is forever in motion. It’s a formless kinetic energy summoned by mortals. Awakening gods, algorithms with prose and Maxwell compositions. Maxwell demon does indeed. Describe subatomic energy states. The Beautifully Grotesque reincarnates a return to figuration. With tectonic forces accommodating its painterly gestures. Sylvia O, was indeed a modern Frida”–SDC.
“She, was a ferocious artist. Born 8/5/77 spinning in peace today.
She wore her work on her heavenly body. Maintaining grace, expressionism and feminism. The Beautifully Grotesque was symbolic in nature. While engulfed in a gruesome fight. Cancer. Took her away from us, far too soon. My sister in creative arts, Sylvia Ortiz, was indeed the greatest artist of her generation. She, worked to elevate the human form, despite misconceptions about her work. She, stood still. According to Stephen Hawking, when bodies move out of necessity. Resting is for mortals. In the afterlife, atoms to molecules inhabit empty space. Thus, today and for the rest of the month. She, spins in peace”–SDC.
In her oeuvre, The Beautifully Grotesque. The artist symbolic expression becomes distorted reality. Describing beauty is about seeing normative values. Through history the female form has been depicted as both subject and object to be desired.
In her lifetime, Sylvia battled with endometriosis. A condition affecting women menstrual cycles with ravaging pelvic pain. She, was the first artist in her family to attend college at Parsons (1998-2002). Then battling Cancer before turning 40 was a devastating blow to us all. Her paintings and drawings do objectified. Pain, rather than sexualizing the female body. “We get it baby doll” Similarly to artist Frida Kahlo whose surrealist tendencies became bodily icons. Mislabeled misconceptions about her figural expressionism moved her away from traditional religion. Rather, she personified tradition with contemporary “Gusto” while dithering away from art historical cannons. The notable author meet her in High School at Cooper Union Saturday program. For gifted youngsters behind all things Fine Arts. I was honored to call her my best friend in life, here and now. She will surely one day hang at MoMa alongside Frida, Picasso, & Van Gogh.
