Sylvie stated that she considers Mother Teresa “an exceptionally admirable woman who worked so hard to help the poor; she commands my respect and admiration. I hope my painting expresses Mother Teresa’s incredible empathy towards people, particularly towards children.”
Ramesh has a special affinity for this painting because Gandhi is depicted in a work of art in the background “looking on with approval.” He is touched by the influence of both of these spiritual leaders who touched his native country so profoundly.
Sylvie was born in Lorraine, France in 1951. She was a primary school teacher who took an interest in art during her professional career. She took courses in watercolor from the renowned Rémy Kail beginning in 1974. She was forced to set aside her art for numerous years for personal reasons, but returned in the 1990s to create once again. Sylvie says her paintings “allow her to escape reality, like a language inviting me to communicate, exchange views and stay open-minded.”
Mother Teresa was a Roman Catholic Sister and missionary who founded the Missionaries of Charity. Members adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience as well as a fourth vow, to give “wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor.” Mother Teresa was the recipient of numerous honors, including the Nobel Peace Prize. On September 4, 2017, she was canonized as a Saint by the Catholic Church.
