As you can see through my posts, I am the kind of person who really likes and needs color. I can not conceive my life in black and white, thank God for red, purple, cobalt, etc… But once in a while I need to rest my eyes, and my soul and take a deep look inside of me, seeking for peace. That is when Silvia Bächli (Switzerland 1956) comes into my help.
Silvia’s work is not flamboyant or extravagant but it isn’t either dull or humble. It is at the same time peaceful and graceful, it calms me down but it doesn’t put me to sleep, it is strong and vibrant. Silvia doesn’t paint on canvas, she draws on paper. Her shades of gray are either gauche or watercolor. This texture is what, I think, gives her work an incredible feeling of homeness and warmness.
I really need sometimes to calm down, and conect with myself!!
