“Whereas early western devotees grappled for a meaningful way to practice unfamiliar rituals, there is now a younger, confident cohort unwilling just to imitate their elders. While maintaining a deep respect for history, they are rising to the task of developing forms that feel genuine for their age and culture.” – Ed Halliwell, The Guardian

Hi, I'm Silvia. My drawings are:
mirrors,
visual representation of specific vibes,
snapshots of reality taken straight from the heart,
a dance between lines and colors and words and emotions,
reminders of humanness,
warm hugs,
buckets of cold water,
portals to direct eye-to-heart connection,
light switches,
non-linear articulations,
me investigating the world,
gifts,
magic spells.
