Savana Sirtonski is a Winnipeg-born artist recently relocated to Sydney, Australia, working primarily in painting and drawing. Her practice explores memory, reflection, and anticipatory forms of grief through a visual language shaped by distortion, fragmentation, and quiet observation. Rooted in a background of portraiture, Sirtonski’s work moves between figuration and abstraction, using reflected and fractured imagery as a way of loosening fixed perspectives.

Often beginning from warped reflections, fading recollections, or domestic motifs such as chairs, fences, and empty clothing, Sirtonski creates images that hover between presence and absence. Her work invites a  contemplative viewing, where personal and emotional histories are suggested rather than declared. Through a process that prioritizes play, intuition, and material exploration, Sirtonski’s paintings hold space for both tenderness and uncertainty, allowing multiple versions of memory, place, and self to exist at once.
