Loren Snyk: ‘Art is not only “being yourself”, but also improving taste’
Loren Snyk, an artist with a background in cyber security, combines technology, fashion and fine art in her work. Her work impresses with its innovative combination of artistic expression and multi-layered themes from the digital world. She holds a Master's degree in Information Technology from Harvard University and works as Director of Cloud Security. Themes such as stealth and hidden messages from cyber security are reflected in her artwork. She began her career in the fashion industry as a model before moving into fashion photography, working with brands such as Chanel and Hermès, including coordinating interviews with designers, photographers and models. Snyk uses mixed media techniques, incorporating fashion photography into her work. She received the ‘Award of Artistic Merit’ from the Pinacotheque in Luxembourg, which encouraged her to question the criteria for ‘good art’ and incorporate feedback from art experts into her work. Her influences include photographers such as Steven Meisel and Peter Lindbergh as well as artist Cecily Brown. Snyk views art as a means of communication and balances personal vision with the expectations of the art market.
