Sylvia Gérardin was born in 1978, she lives and works as a painter, sculptor and architect in Paris. Very early on, she developed skills for painting, and put on an exhibition at the age og 14. This allowed her to meet local artsts. They taught Sylvia and helped to develop her skills and talent. 

Studying architecture in Nancy allowed her to explore different fields of creation. In the 5th year, she left for Budapest and stayed there for three years. She wanted to continue a research she had made which was devoted to the rehabilitation of an industry wasteland, thus a winner of several institutions that support her work. 

She uses photography and writing, which she believes reflect the immersion necessary for any architect who wants to propose a project. Her photographic work has been exhibited in Hungary and France.

At the end of her studies in architecture, where she obtaines her diploma with the Jury's congratulations, she received the 1st National Prize of the Charles-Henri Besnard Grand Prize for Innovation in Construction from the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers. She was also a finalist in the Academy of Architecture's best diploma competition.

She then went on to continue her travels in Spain and Latin America, which gave the opportunity for collaborations on various projects. Her interest in the different fields of creation and their understanding through experimentation continually enriches her work.
