“Painter of ancient paintings"

In her artistic career, Silvia Serafini, she studied ancient techniques and learned the tricks of the trade, attending the best artistic workshops in Florence, preparing the paintings with skill, milling the colors and learning to pat the paintings, to add an aura of mystery to each his copy, indeed ... to every "old style painting"; because she prefers to call herself a painter of ancient-style paintings that a true copyist: each of her paintings becomes a unique, original piece.

Made to order, he painted paintings in every style from still lifes, to landscapes, portraits, 800/900 paintings, Trompe-l'oeil, decorations.

"... A type of painting (copies in fact) that allows her to refine the skills acquired so far and at the same time to test herself with some great classics of art history: from still life to painting of views, from the sacred theme to the mythological one. An opportunity to remember how much skill and study are placed at the origin of each of his pictorial works, both when this is faithful to a genre or subject, and when it frees more freely from the exaltation of chromatic effects to synthesis figural obtained through the sign "...
