About
Silvia Sarsano is an italian artist based in Berlin.
Her work revolves around topics such as generational storytelling, societal contradiction and expectations, individual and collective memory and workers' rights, often from a female perspective.
The chosen medium is mostly painting. Using the traditional format of portrait and incorporating at times traditional handicrafts manufactures, becomes a mean to create a bridge between the bearing of memory and the reflection on the present.
Other medium, like textile and video, are also employed according to the subject chosen.
