Silvia was born and brought-up in Argentina. She's been an avid traveller from a young age and always carried a passion for different cultures and languages. By learning the origin of language and their grammar, she tries to understand the relationship between language and the people that speak it.
In her childhood, she enjoyed the slide show nights in the living-room of her modest home in the outskirts of Buenos Aires, where her father, a then amateur photographer and owner of a Voigtländer, created a multimedia presentation with music coming out from a small Sony cassette player.
Even after photographing for many years, she considers having her breakthrough after attending her first workshop with Magnum photographer Nikos Economopoulos.
Silvia has a variety of diverse photographic projects, but the approach is always the same. She tries to create artistic images of what is available before her eyes, not forcing any situation and keeping it as raw and natural as she found it.
She has lived in Singapore for over 20 years but recently started a nomadic lifestyle.
