Poppy explores colour through her own language of rhythm and structure.
Poppy Cyster creates vibrant abstract art that showcases her exceptional command of colour. Drawing inspiration from aerial views of Scottish landscapes and personal experiences, her paintings blend structured compositions with expressive, dynamic passages of paint.
Artistic Heritage and Perspective
Growing up as an aviator's daughter, Poppy developed a unique visual perspective from countless flights in open cockpit biplanes. These childhood experiences observing the land from above—noting the patterns of fields, winding rivers, mountain ranges, and roadways—continue to influence her distinctive approach to abstract composition.
Professional Development
After graduating from De Montfort University with a Fine Art degree, Poppy immediately caught attention with her sell-out degree show, which earned her the Leicestershire Artworks Collection Prize. Now established as a full-time artist, her work appears in exhibitions throughout the UK and has found homes in private collections across the globe, from the United States to Australia, India, and Japan.
