Silva Usta pays tribute to the women who discovered, built and defended the world.
If sometimes in the history of mankind it has been thought that women appeared in the 20th century in their desire to assert a free identity, Silva Usta reminds us in her precious work that, at all times, women have played their part in all fields, knowledge, of creation, of life…
These pioneering women turned the history of mankind upside down.
The etymologically pioneer is the one who walks: first an infantryman, then the one that highlights new lands, finally the metaphorical aspect becomes essential, he advances, to advance humanity. The feminine of this word gives to the various actions of courageous women this liberating humanist dimension..
Silva creates, with a heart in perpetual work, a constant interaction between the centuries and the plurality of paths. Some famous names and others more veiled participate in this universal unity. Willingness, challenge and perseverance are the engines of fundamental change: live your life freely and choose your destiny!
Silva presents these women in their diversity and singular individuality., as she herself is a protean artist.
A precise technique brings them together: the use of black felt of course and the choice of tulle glued on the drawings. Doesn't he express this lightness of being, that femininity that refuses to get stuck in the ravines of anger? Certainly these Pioneers were able to experience thirst as well as hunger, laughter like tears, wounds and / or gentleness but they remain open on their threshold and the future remains Light
Silva makes us sensitive to this night and this light.
In the desert an oasis opens up where Life and Creation allow you to taste the infinite flavor of Life.
