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:

One of the best ways for you to experience my work is by getting your Vibetrait done. It's like a portrait, but of your vibe instead of your face. Learn more about it here.

If you want me to make drawings for you (whether that's illustrations for your blogposts or book, a single commissioned piece of artwork, or anything else, email me at helloiamsilviabastos at gmail dot com).

You can see more of my work on Instagram.

If you want to hang out or learn more about what's currently on my mind, say hi on Twitter.
