Silla Campanini’s art presents itself as a theme – a source, memory, and nascent dramatization – where reality and symbol transfigure into symbolism, metaphor, and allegory. It converges in this encounter with the stormy peaks of undulating soul, as commented Alfredo Pasolino.

Her works communicate through a non-verbal language, akin to a fluid that permeates and imbues the observer with the ability to make discerning choices. The genuineness of your art is undisputed, free from oppressive features or excessive use of colors.

Silla knows precisely where to apply her touch to emphasize certain aspects or employ a light touch to blend skillfully. Her artistic process is purposeful, with the brush coming to life, the arm and hand moving confidently, while the eyes, as if in a trance, choose the hues and guide the selection of colors to create suitable gradations for the work in progress. Symbols and visual effects emerge from the artwork, individually grasped and differing from one viewer to another. It is not necessary to explain art; it would be intrusive. A work can be admired in its uniqueness and liked solely when it captivates the eye of the beholder. At that instant, it becomes beautifully and pleasantly elevated to the realm of masterpieces.

Silla Campanini is also the Global Coordinator of the Panorama International Arts Festival, held every year.

Here are some of her poems:

AND I LOVE YOU

With a faint whisper, the quivering spirit,

In the intimate wanderings, ventures.

Listening becomes profound, the strings touch the heart.

In that space of calm, the sense emerges.

You are the infinite, there on the mount is your voice.

In the firmament of hearts, my breath joins yours.

In that refuge, dawn is announced.

You are the true dream, and I love you.

MEMORIES

Nature dissolves pages of life

Secret memories evoke the ancient

The book collects new words

The show is ready

How much noise loses its flavor

I light a candle and say a prayer

White clouds speak of the just

Innocent seasons hold tight to the soul

No sword hovers with a smile

No grimacing mouth gleams

The wind disperses the useless yearning

Only the poetry of memory now

And the words never spoken.

THE DEEP NIGHT

In the darkness of the night lies the oblivion of consciences

The cry of fathers advances

In the ignoble market, everything unfolds

Voices shout, and ahead is the fire

A general chaos takes hold

Echoes of wars and the mania for power

Holy hands abound with innocent blood

Like a solitary star amid veils of uncertainty

I leave the world, following another path

The rain washes every deed

Illuminating the profaned truth

In the silence of the Ark lies refuge and the key

The sun, between wind and mists

Announces freedom

The seagull, beyond every horizon, flies.

 One attachment

IN THE DEPTHS OF THE SEA

A colorful life is born in the rhythm of fragility.

In the silence of the sky, refuge and starry nights reside.

Intimate reflections and the mute tree tightly hold destiny.

The river narrates tales of the past, and time flees,

Unaware and impatient, without a moment’s pause.

It is in the depths of the sea that life exists, where no reality is altered.

Like oxygen to breath, the experience of the heart indulges understanding.

The nocturnal mist, orchestrating the vision, dissolves nature.

New words, witnesses of love, far from the world, seek space,

So as not to leave me alone.
