 
Sibylle is an artist for whom vision and visual representation are one and the same. Overawed and fascinated by the majesty and subtlety of the natural world, her works highlight her subjects with the utmost empathy, and her subjects are the benefactors of her idealism. Employing the pointillist method, Sibylle shapes her work through layers and layers of skillfully applied dots, each distinct, so that the image builds up gradually and from a distance appears solid. Only when seen up close can the true brilliance of the work be appreciated. This layering allows Sibylle to intensify the shadows and overall chiaroscuro effect in many of her works, and also gives her scope to concentrate the gaze on facial posturing and the eyes. Her pieces thus display an intensity and directness rarely found in the art world.
Concerned with the detrimental effects of humanity on the natural world, Sibylle’s artworks are set pieces that illustrate the beauty and the tragedy that surrounds us in the modern world.
