Sacralizing the experience through art
By
Luján Baudino, art historian
Silvina Faga 1975, artist.
Silvina Faga’s speech regarding her work unfolds over time, from traditional painting all the way to sumi-e, raku pieces, and so much more. Silvina’s work is diverse and polysemic: displaying a plethora of vital energies and showing the sensibility of her artistic gaze while leaving a subtle print that does not impose a meaning but rather proposes a universe of interpretations.
Silvina’s work values the transformation of time and of natural rhythms. It is a work that exalts life itself.
Her artistic development has been part of her spiritual practice. The integration of art and life leads SIlvina to a self -awareness of being a systemic work in which all aspects are part of an internal harmony expressed outward.
Meditation as a way to connect with a higher state of being becomes the primary integrative element throughout her artistic life. Just as her interest in nutrition, botany, and medical plants are part of the same purpose: enriching experience, caring, respecting and above all, being conscious.
Silvina incorporates motherhood into her work: as a mother of three children, who will become her primary focus, her approach to raising them—grounded in values and common sense—will allow her to adapt without ceasing to create, even though she may not be able to work with certain techniques during their early years. In this way, she will learn skills and crafts compatible with motherhood, which will deepen her understanding and allow her to continue evolving in her artistic expression. Through art, she embarks on an inner journey, fully aware that art is a medium through which to reveal the truths of her spirit.
Forms transform into rituals. Soul and body are met again ready to experiment the present through art as a way of life: a way to inhabit our spirit’s infinite existence through beauty.
