Silvia Cavalcanti

My art was born out of anxiety. While preparing to transition from ad land to the client site, I knew I had to find a good creative outlet in case the client side sucked . And that's how my weekly Innervention s project (art brut) came to life: 1h of exposing myself to thought - provoking content before bedtime 1h collecting discarded objects on the stoops of Brooklyn 1h resignifying these objects to evolve inner thoughts and feelings The next thing I know, my advertising friends made me create an Insta gram account to post my work, and I started to actually sell some pieces. The good - and - bad news, though, is that I ended up deriving a great deal of creative fulfillment from my client - side work, which means I haven’t been as prolific with my art brut as m y friends would have liked.
