Silvia Trujillo

Personal Statement

"I live, breathe, and sleep art. Creating art is a way of life for me. My goal is to consistently produce paintings that are original and express my love of nature. I'm experimental -- you will find different surfaces, approaches, and subjects in my work. I love color and varied value patterns. Landscape painting is a natural extension of this love and attracts me to the dramatic light that occurs during a storm or at dawn and dusk.

In order to convey my vision accurately I employ the use of lost and found edges, knowledge of color temperature, a variety of brush stroke, design of space, and contrasting values.

I feel deeply the effects of the vanishing natural environment, and it is my hope to pass on a respectful, caring, and thoughtful approach to preserving this area's beauty by honoring the landscape in my paintings.
