Silvia Giordani (b. 1992, Vicenza) is a Venice-based artist whose practice explores the transient nature of existence through surreal, abstracted landscapes. Using acrylic and oil on canvas, she creates compositions that balance organic forms with dynamic textures, blurring the boundaries between the familiar and the imagined. Her work often centers on themes of absence, impermanence, and transformation, using mass and form to evoke the fleeting yet monumental qualities of natural environments.
Giordani's artistic language reflects a deep engagement with art history. Her exploration of metaphysical spaces draws connections to the surreal works of Giorgio de Chirico and Yves Tanguy, while her contemplative focus on nature and organic forms recalls Georgia O'Keeffe's meditative landscapes. At the same time, her approach to abstraction and texture aligns with Agnes Martin's minimalist yet emotionally resonant practice.
Throughout her career, Giordani has participated in significant exhibitions that highlight her evolving exploration of abstract landscapes. Earlier in 2024, she exhibited in Moon Walk at Buysse Gallery, curated by Domenico de Chirico, a duo exhibition examining lunar symbolism and altered perceptions of landscapes. Her works, such as Titan Dunes (2024) and The Purple Cloud (2024), exemplify her use of layered acrylics and oils to evoke natural forms that are simultaneously timeless and surreal.
Giordani's participation in prestigious artist residencies, including the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation in Venice and Inedita 2, has significantly shaped her artistic vision. In 2020, she co-founded Kadabra Studio, an independent space in Mestre that fosters collaboration and experimentation among emerging artists. Her practice continues to evolve as she explores the intersections of time, transformation, and the metaphysical in her work, offering a contemplative reflection on the impermanence of nature and human perception.
