Femmes et couleurs - Interview with Silvia Verni
25 January 2015
Q) What is for you the beauty?

A) Beauty is what attracts attention, which raises curiosity. As the saying goes: "it's not nice what is beautiful but it's nice what you like", in the sense that beauty is very subjective, it also depends on what you have experienced in the past.

Q) Your paintings are a triumph of colors. What they mean for you the colours? And what color do you like best?

A) The colours are an expression of feelings. I identify black as absence of everything, nothing, then sadness. And white instead of its opposite represents the whole. Yellow is another important color, expresses happiness. The violet melancholy. My favorite color, however, is certainly blue.

Q) As much of Silvia there is in your paintings?

A) It depends. In early work actually very little. By the time I learned to customize my paintings and then putting more and more of me.

Q) "Women and colors": where does the title of your exhibition?

A) It's an idea that came to me last year. I thought the series of still lifes and landscapes were things seen and magazines. I felt it was right to devote a cycle of works for women and celebrate them, especially after all these cases of femicide. Then, let us say, "the woman is the motor of the world".

Q) What features have your women?

A) My women are sensual, feminine, beautiful and sweet.

Q) Women represented don't look ever the viewer. Are timid or sensual?

A) There is not a reason. I believe that the faces must not cause platitude. I Want are my viewers to give a face to my women.

Q) You represent many dancers: what is the plot that they have with your art?

A) The dancers represent the rhythm, because life is a continuous dance, you should never stop at the rhythm of life.

Q) When it comes to the art system in commercial sense, often the attractiveness of sale coincides with the loss of aura of the artist. How do you engage this dichotomy?

A) Art is my biggest passion, but there is no greater satisfaction when you manage to instill something to others and this means that people are forced to buy, because the picture becomes an emblem of their own emotional situation.

Q) What advice would you give to a young artist?

A) Follow his heart, to think about what he likes and put it on canvas.

Q) Have you a childhood dream?

A) Become famous, and that my paintings will be recognized as a Verni.
