Silvina Lanusse often integrates collage elements into her artworks, adding layers of depth and complexity. She juxtaposes various materials such as torn paper and monoprints onto the canvas, creating intriguing contrasts against the painted surface. This collage technique allows Lanusse to explore new dimensions within her compositions, incorporating tangible textures and reinforcing thematic motifs.
For Silvina Lanusse, the synergy of painting, collage, and printing reflects her passionate approach to storytelling through art. Each technique contributes distinct textures, colors, and forms that harmonize within her compositions. The combined effect is a multi-dimensional exploration of nature's vibrancy and the artist's own spirited energy.
Through the incorporation of collage and printing, Lanusse elevates the narrative depth of her artworks. Each piece becomes a visual dialogue between materials, colors, and textures, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a rich tapestry of imagery and symbolism. Lanusse's work transcends conventional boundaries, embracing a holistic approach to artistic expression.

“We were very pleased with the way Silvina captured our two dogs. Their eyes were exactly as they are in real life and the whole painting looked like a photograph. It looked as though you could actually reach out and stroke them. Silvina is an incredible artist!”

“After seeing some of Silvina‘s art in her studio, I was confident to commission her to do a portrait of our dear doodle, Salty. I wanted to surprise my son for Christmas and he was truly pleased with his gift. She painted Salty’s character perfectly from the photos that she took. Salty is no longer with us, but we have a gorgeous portrait by Silvina on our wall to remember him always”

Book covers
Author Shannon McEwen hired me to create a painting to use in the cover of her poetry book. She owns the original acrylics painting and I am forever grateful.
…and the following year she asked me to do the cover for her second book, just like that! and it turned out to be one of the most fun times!
