About
SILVIA SALVAGNO is a nomad visual artist. Since leaving her home in Argentina over 20 years ago, she has lived in many countries around the world. This transformative journey has deeply influenced her artistic language.
She studied Painting and Art History at Belgium’s École des Arts de Braine L’Alleud and trained with master Manuel DeRugama in Mexico.
She explores topics of ephemerality, impermanence, and the fragility of life. She works with oils and watercolors.
Her work has been exhibited internationally and can be found in private collections in the USA, Mexico, Switzerland, Argentina, Belgium, Italy, UK, Australia, and others.
“Life and time are constantly changing and escaping our grasp. In my paintings, I try to capture this never-ending transformation and the reflective processes associated with it.
I work using several fine layers of paint, to create pieces that tread the line between abstraction and figuration. Empty spaces play a fundamental role in my compositions. My palette is subtle and I apply delicate brushstrokes to obtain smooth, diffused, serene images.
My work is an invitation to pause, reflect, and abandon oneself to a path of discovery into the beauty and peace of what is simple, fragile, and ephemeral: our journey through life.”
