Melina Silberberg: Argentina
Melina was born in Argentina and has been drawing and painting since she can remember.
Later on, she discovered embroidery, the beauty of fabrics and this is where she could fully express herself.
Melina finds herself rearranging her thoughts in terms of fluid shapes and colors. She stitches and embroiders these designs in her mind before sketching them out. This is the beginning of her creative journey, that she continues with the use of design computer programs and handwork. She selects her fabrics carefully then hand stitches them with embroidery thread onto a blank textile. Applying various embroidery techniques, weaving small circular looms gives her works contrasting forms and textures.
Her work is abstract and it reflects processes of thoughts, dreams, and hopes.
Melina has been influenced greatly by “Hundertwasser's” art, his use of color and his spirals that he called “the spirals of life and nature”.
