Silvia Strobos-Buch
Artist of the week June 2020
‘Colourful People’
Silvia Strobos-Buch
Born in Holland and living in Switzerland, Strobos have established herself as one of the unconditional artist exhibiting in the Swiss Art Fairs. Her artworks retain the aspects of the real world: people interaction. Her unmistakeable human figures connect in despair. They gloom as they relate yet again they pose in a melancholic distance. Social Behaviour is present in all her works.
So good to see you
Meeting People
Showing how people are connected to each other in different ways. It is a search to visualise human interaction applying acrylic on canvas as a medium. The paintings are built out of many layers of people, not visible at first sight. Reflecting that sometimes people have an incomprehensible and complex human interaction.
Happy to meet!
