Come to the party by Silvia Pastore Painting

Since a very early age I was always intrigued and fascinated by theatrical comedies Showing characters of the” Commedia dell` Arte”. Their antics and foolish conversations subtly point to the shortcomings of our society and to the weird and often crooked belief system that often guides people`s lives. This is not out of choice but out of the need to belong to the society they are born in and also to win the love and respect of the people they share their life with. In the sequence of my paintings I like to dress my characters with costumes and masks emphasizing the diverse roles that people play on the stage of life. Such roles change according to age, education, environment, and cultural conditioning depending on the places they inhabit and the people they meet. For some the change of costume comes easy while for others it is impossible to replace it as they completely identify with it. Silvia Pastore has a fine art degree from Central School of Art and Design, London and has studied printmaking. For the last 40 years she has worked extensively in oil, watercolour and pastel. For several years Silvia was a member of the Society for Art of Imagination and won the Watercolour Prize in 2002 at the Gallery, Cork Street, London. Since 2006 her paintings have been part of the Bridgeman Art Library, a leading world archive of art images. Since 2011 Silvia's paintings have been regularly selected by the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
