Art has always shaped the way humans understand themselves and the world around them. Through painting, performance, and visual storytelling, Sylvia Barrero explores art as a language capable of activating emotional awareness, cultural dialogue, and new ways of seeing.
Elisium Art connects collectors, brands, and architectural spaces with transformational contemporary art, designed to shape identity, elevate environments, and create lasting cultural value.
As a contemporary artist and cultural architect, Sylvia’s work has been collected internationally and exhibited in cities such as Bogotá, Miami, and London. Each commission is developed as a deeply intentional process—aligning emotion, space, and narrative into a singular work.
Her artistic practice emerges from embodied creation—using acrylics, tactile painting, palette knife, and gesture-driven techniques to create vibrant, emotionally charged works. Each commission becomes more than an artwork: it becomes a reflection of identity, energy, and human connection.
Sylvia’s work positions art as a transformational force for identity, space, and cultural value. With over two decades of experience in the global art market—placing artworks in more than twelve countries, founding art sales platforms, advising thousands of collectors.
Clients typically accompany the process by sharing a preferred color palette, subject, or a favorite piece by Sylvia.
To determine the ideal canvas size, you can share an image of the wall and we can help you visualize different dimensions.
We provide a digital sketch of the painting & its AI-powered visualization in your space for approval, so you can be confident on the piece Sylvia is going to paint and details can be adjusted.
Sylvia’s work positions art as a transformational force for identity, space, and cultural value. With over two decades of experience in the global art market—placing artworks in more than twelve countries, founding art sales platforms, advising thousands of collectors, and collaborating with global brands and institutions—her practice operates at the intersection of art, culture, and the creative economy.
Each artwork is conceived not simply as an object, but as a catalyst capable of shaping environments and the people who inhabit them. Guided by her “reforesting” vision, Sylvia sees art spreading across the world the way nature does: through resonance rather than noise. Every artwork becomes a seed, every collector a steward, and every collaboration an opportunity to cultivate a living cultural ecosystem where art, identity, and purpose grow together across cities and communities.
Bogotá, Colombia
“My Feng-Shui advisor had given me a list of colors and a specific theme for the decoration of the living room at our new home. Sylvia easily captured the idea in three digital sketches she shared with me, so that I could make the decision with my husband about what artwork to commission. My kids love the painting and the piece made the main area of our apartment finally feel like our dreamed home.”
Cajicá, Colombia
“I´ve commissioned various paintings for my architectural projects and my clients have been delighted by Sylvia’s work. The vibrance of colors and her flexibility to meet the requirements for each project, have been very helpful, in order to finalize the interior decoration for residential projects in different cities.”
Barú, Colombia
“We had wanted to add some color in our beach house at Barú, but local galleries in Cartagena just offered small pieces that didn´t suit the space. We were able to commission an abstract paint from Sylvia, with that finger painted technique she uses, which gives a special meaning to our acquisition, because we know the value – both emotional and cultural – that this artwork has for our family.”
Miami, Florida
“I had wanted to buy and original artwork for our recently remodeled house and came across Elisium.Art, while searching for Latin American artists. Sylvia personally contacted me to understand the kind of piece I was looking for, and came back with an artwork that has a special meaning for my husband and I who met during a visit to the Mediterranean sea. We can´t help but smile every time we walk past the artwork.”
México City
“I was in charge of an interior design project for a house in CDMX and we knew the client wanted a black and white piece which wasn´t either expressionist or figurative. From Sylvia´s portfolio we decided on the “Expansion Series” pieces and Sylvia painted a beautiful diptych whish she also shipped to the location. Our client was delighted with the result.”
Los Angeles, California
“Everytime someone visits our house they use the same words: “This painting is so alive”. That was what we wanted when we contacted Sylvia to commission a painting for our house. It shifted the energy of the space, because of the vibrance and the amount of memories it brings of the natural diversity of our country. She brough home to us.”
Each painting emerges through a direct physical gesture, using the body as an instrument of expression and presence.
