Sydney Gruber

Sydney Gruber captures the pulse of life in color and invites you to connect with a world of raw energy. In the studio, she makes focal point paintings and a signature line of internationally selling chess sets. In life, she strives to match reason with passion and collect the nectar. Creating art is a practice of alchemy. Moving through her like harnessed electricity, Sydney intuitively layers and textures color, often kisses paintings with gold leaf, and then levels her work in a standard-setting application of gloss resin.

To paint is to give yourself to the grand experiment, build a new language, and look for the magic in the meditation. Gruber finds natural movements in a flow state and lets emotion guide her hand to create an abstract world—like a force of nature moving through the body until it hits canvas. In this modern art renaissance, Gruber’s art is a celebration of life and the connections that leave rooms better than when they were found. In one medium or another, she is always seeking herself and the connection to something more. Here’s the honey—the real substance comes from pursuing expression, connecting authentically, and living in the discovery.

It is a synchronistic pleasure to collaborate with Chess House on these chess sets.

I am especially fond of the customized chessmen because of the meeting of my pursuits as an artist with my affinity for game of chess. I'm always looking to tackle new mediums, and I offer my panache signature with vibrant swirls and patterns of paint with detailing that plays with your mind or collaborate with clients to bring their vision to life.
