Biography and Curriculum Silvia Carta

Born in Sassari on 10/05/1977, I have always loved to draw as a child even though I have chosen other types of studies to cultivate another of my great passion, that for animals. I live and work as a veterinary surgeon in Sassari, but I have never abandoned the great passion for drawing and painting that has always been with me.
I have been painting for years as self-taught. I prefer oil technique but I also find other pictorial techniques, such as acrylic, watercolor and pastel, very interesting.
I draw more inspiration from landscapes, I draw inspiration mainly from my Earth and its wonderful colors, which I try to portray and interpret especially live. I also find inspiration in the landscapes I love to photograph on the occasion of my travels. Nonetheless, I also dislike other subjects, such as still lifes, which I like to reproduce meticulously the details on the canvas, as well as my careful and scrupulous personality tells me.
For me, Art is a great passion, an evasion of the soul. It is a contact between me and nature, where the canvas is a medium, a means by which emotions and colors take shape.

As for my artistic training I will be short: self-taught painter. I use various techniques, from drawing to painting, ranging from acrylic to oil, watercolor, pencil, pastel and charcoal.
I also work on commission, trying to satisfy the client's needs, but with full respect for my artistic vocation.
I also delight with the portraits of animals.
