Trying to introduce Silvia Mujica and her artworks is a difficult task due to the richness and extension of her lifetime work.

Silvia Mujica studied drawing with Pedro Centeno Vallenilla in Caracas, Venezuela. Under Vallenilla's direction she was captivated by the classics estheticism.

Moreover, Silvia, simultaneously, performed studies at the Central University of Venezuela Botanic Institute and Architecture Department. Her knowledge of all these disciplines has allowed Silvia to have a very keen insight of light, color, and form.

Silvia has used a contemporary vision in her art and has introduced, in a very sensible way, the use of traditional techniques resulting in a very unique artwork.

Silvia's figurative work does not intend to copy literally the reality of the tropical flora. Her keen sense of observation and long hours of study on her subjects allows her to understand the harmony of nature, its forms, proportions, volumes, rhythms, and color. Silvia transmits in her works "a fantastic realism". A realism between the whole and the parts, the large and the minute, the light and the shadows with an endless kaleidoscope of greens, blues, reds and sepias.

Silvia's paintings transport us, as spectators, in a telluric vision of profound respect for life, nature and spirituality. In the end, it closes a circle between the ethic relationship between man and its surroundings.

Silvia Mujica's works remind us of Cicero's words. "Si apud bibliothecam hortulus habes, nihil deerit." "What else can you wish for if you have a library that opens to a little garden."
