When you first see Saiyera’s inks, acrylics, or pastels, you might be tempted to make a superficial reading, trying to deconstruct the forms to see, here, a strange bird, there, a friendly monster, or a fantastical animal. But very quickly, you realize that you are not looking at the works of an illustrator of your fantasies. A comprehensive view immediately reveals a world made of dreams, fears, and wonder. Saiyera’s art neither shows nor demonstrates anything. It offers us a vision that belongs only to her, a vision of her own way of being in the world. And beyond the sometimes vivid and striking colours, we perceive all the nuances of a work unlike any other. It is indeed the artist’s gift to take us where we have never been, and the journey Saiyera offers is rich with rare emotions. You have to take the time to sit in front of each work (almost miniatures) to see what it immediately conceals from us. A beautiful journey!”
