Silva Vujović

Silva has brought the watercolor technique to a point of perfection. Her personal and recognizable way of painting, the precise lines and drawings laid upon mostly monochrome surfaces create a sense of unity between them. The light and shadow ratio makes the objects dynamic and interesting, soft and transparent colors render them velvety and unobtrusive. Carefully selected details bring to Silva’s paintings the impression of plausibility and abundance and can easily remind the observer of some forgotten memory or a story from the past.

She graduated from the Academy of Applied Arts in Belgrade in 1977, as a part of the architecture and design department. She has been a member of the Association of Fine and Applied Arts since 1982 and has been working as an independent artist since 1991. She also taught at the Institute for Fine and Applied Arts in Belgrade until 2018.

Vujovic has participated in over 50 group exhibitions of watercolor artists in Serbia and internationally, including shows in Europe, Azia and Americas. She has taken part in several workshops and has won prizes for her watercolors and illustrations. She has also had about a dozen individual exhibitions of her watercolors, most notably “Belgrade Through Gates and Entrances”, “Memories”, “Forgotten Scenes”, “Reflections” and others.
