Collection: Bernadette Siân

Mae Bernadette Siân yn artist o ogledd Cymru sydd wedi canolbwyntio’n bennaf ar symbolaeth benyweidd-dra, gan ddefnyddio llu o wahanol gyfryngau yn ei chelf gan gynnwys darlunio, cyfryngau digidol a serameg. Mae ei gwaith yn llinell amser esthetig i brofiadau sy’n newid, gyda’r silwetau nodedig o bob cyfnod yn crynhoi persbectif unigryw ar yr ysbryd a’r egni ar draws oes menyw.

“Mae fy narluniau, serameg a ffilmiau byrion yn gysyniadau o esblygiadau, wedi’u trwytho mewn cyfeiriadau metafforig wedi’u hysbrydoli gan gysylltiad â natur a chwedlau gwerin fy niwylliant. Offrwm i famolaeth a phŵer menywod.”

Yn ddiweddar, mae gwaith Bernadette wedi ehangu i ailwerthuso ac archwilio’r Llwy Garu (llwy garu Gymreig), gan greu ffurfiau cerfluniol a welir trwy lens traddodiad brodorol a symbolaeth gyfoes.

Bernadette Siân is a North Wales based artist whose primary focus has been the symbolism of womanhood, using a multitude of different media in her art including illustration, digital media and ceramics. Her work is an aesthetic timeline to changing experiences, the distinctive silhouettes from each phase encapsulating a unique perspective on the spirit and energy across a woman’s lifetime.

“My illustrations, ceramics and short films are concepts of evolutions, steeped in metaphorical references inspired by a connection to nature and my culture's folktales. An offering to motherhood and the power of women.”

 Recently, Bernadette’s work has expanded to reevaluate and explore the Llwy Garu (Welsh love spoon), creating sculptural forms viewed both through the lens of vernacular tradition and contemporary symbolism.
