Words for the Exhibition
“Memories”, to Silvia

Silvia’s work begins with itself, they are like flying balconies, which always have flowers, birds and fruits to show with a daily freshness, the events of the environment in a work of spiritual validity through her imaginary world, a bit of Frida, a bit of Land, a bit of nymph.

Her presence always surprises us with her slow, lilting and dove-like gait, with her bags or crates full of pictures, as an inseparable structure of her skin, without missing her smile, her familiar gaze.

About the pictures

The paintings are like prints, of continuous women, which unleash colours, tie spots or wrap in spaces like snapshots reflected with their almost symmetrical and always frontal gazes. Luminous, expressive, and loose backgrounds in contrast to the serenity of their figures. It is a continuous dialogue of inner strength with the solutions and procedures of the contour of the figures, “Silvia’s Hay-Eden” are like muses, images that are trapped in her canvases, with no other gesture than to be contemplated, appreciated, and loved.

There they are with their pure colors, hovering with some myth with no other space than light. Stripping their paintings, making poetry with their hair, and filling their hands with flowers, as if hiding circular rhythms of simple and complex compositions. Due to their central emphasis, in its apparent background figure, where the environmental elements frolic in their coming and going, is a secondary and leading space.

Memories suggest…

Our suggestion is to invite you to get to know her because Silvia is one more “Hay deé” of her paintings, she is one more work in her collection, she is the mobile figure of her theme, she is the nuance of her atmosphere, in short, she is the painter friend you should know.

Thanks.
