They are delicate points of suspension that the artist places on the walls. Light and subtle pathways along which the eye moves in a pendular motion, in a rhythm marked by fullness and emptiness, by volumes, convexities, and concavities.
How she manages to render this material so ethereal is almost an alchemical secret, yet terracotta transforms into a veil and literally transcends the condition of two-dimensionality. In her wall sculptures, Silvia weaves together playfulness, rhythm, poetry, and lightness.
“White” is the name of the series that gives the exhibition its title. Fragile terracottas in which matter and its color—so natural and vivid in its simplicity—dominate the surrounding space, drawing the gaze into a kind of strange landscape composed by the work through its organic forms, similar yet never identical, in a synesthetic harmony without equal.
