Sandra Silva Galindo

Born in Mexico in 1966 grew up in a family of Artists.
Started painting at a very young age in my father’s art studio.
Traveling most of my life and lived in several European countries and India.
Had a very beautiful childhood in India where I was in a Montessori school, barefoot, sharing songs under the trees with kids from all nationalities and loved the innocency of all of us playing together.
At age of nine years, we all moved to Paris, there started a very difficult period and I began painting happy scenes in search of warmness, candor and love.
It allowed me to skape into my happy inner world I could remember from India.
We moved to the south of Spain after 3 years.

My husband and myself opened a Gallery in Marbella called “SilvArt” from 1998 to 2004 where we organised exhibitions and also had an etching studio.

Lately very much influenced by Henry Rousseau also because I deeply love and feel connected with nature. Also by the Colombian Artist Botero and his round people.
Couldn’t think of a life without animals and nature near me.

Art should add joy to our lives and invite us in an imaginary world. I love sharing my dreams, inviting to a warm smile to who watches my Art.

I also do work on request.

Studied the etching techniques with my father from 1984 to 1986.
Studied ceramic with Spanish artist Pablo Romero in 1987.
Studied 3 years in Florence, Italy at Scuola per l’Arte e Ristauro 1988 to 1991.
Learned water colour technique in Bruxelles, Belgium with Artist Pierre Charriot in 1991.
