Artist’s Statement
Strongly influenced by the Impressionists and landscape artists during her formative years, alongside the immersive power of narrative and the spoken word, Silvia has developed a body of work which deftly subverts the perceived boundaries between painting and poetry, representation and abstraction.
Whilst studying at the Institute of Architecture in Venice Silvia was immersed in the Venetian art scene and began collaborating with artists internationally. In Venice she developed a curiosity for sculpture and installation, learning the power of materials and lighting - the theatrical relationship between artworks and space. Her work is multidisciplinary, but she's essentially a painter. She educated her hands and her mind as a painter - mixing media as she mixes colours.
