“In Silvia Barrios’ paintings space and time
vividly come to life. Her deep love
for the history of Siracusa, in Sicily,
and it’s past as well as its present, glare
is shown in her remarkable work.”

“Silvia Barrios’ images are a mixture of sensations which run over the artist’s canvas with photographic vehemence. Thus, natural and artificial objects, what was created and what was designed, as well as casual and constructed objects get intertwined in a dance which alternates fascination and uneasiness.
The paintings we see here try to tell about inner landscapes which, like nature itself, is at times demolishing and at times full of peace or melancholy.
The artist’s search has yielded this abundant harvest, lets’s make a toast to it!”
