Painting
In the past 21 years, Silvia has been concentrating on selected topics and events from our contemporary life. She places the biggest emphasis and effort in finding an interesting topic through which to be able to tell a given story, as well as to ponder on cardinal philosophical and symbolic categories in life. Some of these topics include: de personae – portraits; windows, doors and bridges; symbolic cities; words; trees and flowers; shared aspects of the people’s lives in the Balkans.
Gaining knowledge about our world underlies every project she undertakes. It is linked not only to her formal education, but also involves travel, observation, making photography, reading, discussions, processing the acquired knowledge/ information to make sense of it and arrive at her own visual interpretation. Silvia’s projects often consist of multiple works executed over long periods of time, often produced in a range of different media, grouped around a specific theme and meaning.
