silvia makes drawings

alchemizing vibes into visual form

(home)

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.

What I'm doing and where to find me:
