Alan Syliboy is from Millbrook First Nation, Truro, Nova Scotia.
An established Mi’kmaq artist, Alan Syliboy’s work is influenced by the indigenous Mi’kmaq rock drawing and quill weaving traditions. Working in acrylic and mixed media, Alan creates vibrantly coloured images exploring the themes of family, searching, spirituality, struggle and strength. The use of layering symbols and mark making creates depth and texture in Alan’s work.
