Silvia lives in the city of Porto Alegre/Brazil, where she dedicates herself to contemporary figurative painting in oil on canvas, combined with other painting techniques.
The artist's aim is not to create a painting of photographic accuracy, but rather to use realism as a tool to bring the characters' eyes to life, the focal point of her work, and, through brushstrokes, convey the complexity and emotional charge that may create a connection with the viewer.
