About The Artist
Charlotte
Szynskie, a native of Salida, Colorado, currently calls Denver her home, where
her personal studio is a haven for her artistic endeavors. From a young age,
Charlotte displayed a fondness for artistic pursuits, dedicating herself to
every available art class in middle and high school. However, her academic
journey led her towards engineering in college, and she thrived in a
distinguished 33-year career in electrical engineering, including 28 years as
the owner of a successful consulting firm. In 2011, upon retirement, she
allowed herself to explore her latent passion for sculpture.
Embarking
on a three-year study at the Art Student League of Denver, Charlotte delved
into the world of sculpting under the guidance of several master sculptors.
What began as a post-retirement pursuit swiftly evolved into a deep love for
the art form. Charlotte's dedication and rapid development in sculpting have
drawn comparisons to seasoned masters in the field.
Her
sculptural prowess has earned recognition, with her works finding a place in
prestigious venues such as the Amsterdam-Whitney Gallery in New York, New York,
and various juried exhibitions. Notably, she received the Best in Show award in
2022 at the Loveland Library Galleria. Additionally, private collectors have
commissioned multiple pieces, attesting to the profound impact of her
creations.
Charlotte's
in-depth study of human anatomy has equipped her with the knowledge needed to
craft realistic human figures. She possesses a unique ability to capture a
model's strong likeness, particularly in life-size portraiture. Freezing
gravity-defying moments or fluid motions of the human body exemplify her
artistic vision.
The transition from engineer to artist has been a source of immense
joy and expansion for Charlotte, embracing a dual-hemisphere brain approach to
life. Reflecting on her artistic journey, she acknowledges the challenges of
learning high-level figurative sculpture, contrasting the absence of formulas
in art with the structured nature of engineering. For Charlotte, sculpting is a
magical process that elicits chills and smiles when a chunk of clay seemingly
transforms into a living, breathing person. Her passion for sculpture is
evident in every piece she creates, capturing the beauty, strength, fluidity,
and emotion of the human form.
