Art & Soul with Silvina Lanusse

Creativity through the lens of an artist and collage storyteller 

"Being aware of my surroundings, and stop thinking about worries"

Based on Vancouver Island, Silvina Lanusse creates work from fragments: torn paper, vintage letters, sheet music, old maps, and pieces of memory. She often begins without a strict plan, letting each piece guide her as it evolves from chaos into quiet, layered harmony. She embraces imperfection, valuing the raw, unexpected turns that happen along the way.

Originally from Argentina, Silvina brings a bold sense of color and an intuitive approach to her work. Collage offers her freedom. Tearing becomes an act of release, while rebuilding serves as a means of understanding the world and our personal narratives. Her art often inhabits a space of “in-between”: between places, memories, and moments, all reflected in the colors and textures she chooses.

Her work speaks to those who feel deeply, who carry many stories and roles, and who recognize a bit of themselves in what they see. Silvina's paintings are known for their bold honesty. Many viewers find her work familiar, as if each piece has always been a part of their world.

An exhibiting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, Silvina has also had her work featured as cover art for poetry collections, which she regards as meaningful collaborations between word and image. In her workshops, she shares this approach, inviting participants to explore collage, texture, and intuition to create work that tells their own story.
