On Feburary 28, 2021 the Embassy of Argentina displayed the paintings "Enough" and "Chromatic Alterations" by Silvia Levenson and Lao Gavriellia. This was a project based on the reproduction of portraits of women of different ages and ethnicities on which the word “basta”has been printed in different languages, including the languages of native peoples.

"I believe that there are no neutral materials; in my work I mainly use glass because I am fascinated by its ambiguity. For my work it becomes the ideal material to show the ambiguity of human relationships. I use a very traditional, hand-crafted material to describe not what we put on top of our furniture but what we carefully hide under our rugs." Silvia Levenson’s excerpt.

About the Artist

Originally from Buenos Aires, Silvia Levenson immigrated to Italy in 1981 during the Dirty War. She explores interpersonal relationships through installations and objects that state firmly what is usually felt or whispered. Her work is centralized on this unspeakable space, which is located between what we can see and what we feel, and she uses glass to reveal those things that are normally hidden.
