is a Guatemalan contemporary fine artist whose work explores the relationship between people, place and the living world.

She believes that art is not simply something we observe, but something we inhabit. Through original contemporary paintings, she creates works that become part of the environments where people live, work and welcome others—bringing beauty, light and connection into everyday life.

Nature is both Silvia's greatest inspiration and her lifelong teacher. Through attentive observation of light, movement and the quiet intelligence of living systems, she translates experience into a contemporary visual language that invites presence, reflection and wonder.

For Silvia, a painting is never complete when it leaves the studio.
It becomes complete when it becomes part of the life of a place.
This conviction guides every collection, every collaboration and every commissioned work she creates.

 
A Multidisciplinary Perspective

Art has been part of Silvia's life since childhood.
Alongside her artistic practice, she built a multidisciplinary career spanning graphic design, marketing, business strategy, leadership education and emotional intelligence. She worked as an Art Director, Marketing Consultant and Merchandising Manager, and later taught Leadership at GAIA Business School.
These experiences deepened her understanding of visual communication, organizational culture, human behavior and the profound influence environments have on the way people think, feel, relate and thrive.

Her academic background includes a Bachelor's Degree in Graphic Design, a Master of Business Administration (MBA), postgraduate studies in Marketing & Merchandising, and Transpersonal Psychology.

Today, these disciplines converge naturally in her artistic practice, allowing her to collaborate with private collectors, architects, interior designers, corporations and hospitality professionals to create original contemporary artwork that responds thoughtfully to the identity and purpose of each space.
