Silvia Paci

Silvia Paci was born in Prato, Italy in 1990. She got a degree at Florence Academy of Art in 2012. She worked in a tattoo studio for one year but she left this job because she doesn't like it. Than she worked in a restaurant continuing to pursue her passion for painting.

"In my work I represent faces, bodies and human beings. I like disfigure, distort subjects and follow my instinct. Let me carry to see where the paint can bring me. I don't like perfection. I try to represent the frustration, the curiosity and the dissatisfaction. These are my feelings when I paint."

Statement

Even as a child I was always interested in drawing. I started copying the Manga, famous Japanese comics. When I grew up I approached the paintings through my father, a great lover of art. At first I saw the painting as something to admire, than I slowly discovered the meaning by using it as a tool to understand better myself and the world around me. Art for me makes questions.
