Steyn’s
My Story
Steyn Skyler is an artist from Amsterdam with a passion for creating detailed and visually stunning artworks inspired by nature and the female form. From a young age, Steyn was always sketching and even began tagging walls during high school. Although he did not initially pursue a career as an artist, he followed a creative path as a graphic designer, creating logos and branding for various companies and nightclubs. Ultimately, he decided to become a self-taught artist, exploring his own creative vision and style.
Skyler’s art can be found in various locations, including the World Trade Center and the A’DAM Tower. His paintings often depict a surreal fantasy world where women are the central figures, surrounded by Steyn’s signature butterflies, flowers, trees, and plants. For Steyn, nature is a significant source of inspiration, and his work is rich in symbolism. As he himself says, “Those who find beauty in nature will find themselves in harmony with the secrets of life.” In many cultures, the blue butterfly is a symbol of acceptance, honor, and great energy, and it is also believed to grant wishes. The presence of blue butterflies in Skyler’s work adds an extra layer of meaning and symbolism.
Steyn works in small series, starting with a digital sketch and then using oil and acrylic paints to bring his ideas to life. One of the main themes in his work is celebrating the inner beauty and character of his female subjects by surrounding them with nature and animals. By blending the image of a woman with various elements, Steyn’s work acquires a surreal quality while maintaining a classical look through the use of traditional materials. His art beautifully combines classical elements with a modern touch, giving his surreal pieces a contemporary feel. In addition to traditional painting and drawing techniques, Steyn also utilizes digital techniques and is currently exploring the use of NFTs in his art. Overall, Steyn Skyler is an artist who continually pushes the boundaries of his craft, exploring new ways to express his creativity.
In addition to creating original paintings on canvas, Steyn also offers art prints of his work for those who wish to enjoy his unique and visually striking art in their own home or office. Each print is carefully crafted to capture the vibrant colors and fine details of the original piece, ensuring that the print is just as beautiful and impactful as the original canvas painting. Whether you are interested in purchasing an original piece or a high-quality art print, Steyn’s work will undoubtedly bring beauty and inspiration to any space.
