Sylvia Kölbl was born in 1949 in Vienna, Austria. Although she formally studied veterinary medicine in Vienna, her passion for painting has been a constant since childhood. Entirely self-taught, Kölbl has developed her artistic voice with dedication and authenticity, pursuing her creative path alongside her professional life.
Her work is represented in both public and private collections in Austria, Slovakia, and Germany. Kölbl’s artistic achievements have been recognized with multiple awards, and she is an active member of VetArt-ArtForum, PublicArtists, and Galeriestudio 38. Since 2025 she is featured artist at Circle Art.
In my eyes nature with all its diversity and living inhabitants is the greatest art work at all. Therefore by painting some special motifs out of the richness around I try to show what we should respect and protect, otherwise what we loose after destruction. I hope my attempts are successful and the soal of animals in my paintings can be seen as well.
