About this episode
https://Art2Life.com - Silvia Poloto emigrated to the United States in the 90s. It was here that she stumbled on a knack for art—and it changed the trajectory of her life. When Silvia was finishing her Master's Degree, she started cutting out pieces from magazines and making collages. She started working with metal. Looking to learn more, she signed up for a class called "Metal Arts," only to realize it was a jewelry-making class. She spent her time in class creating small sculptures with the material. Her instructor was fascinated. She shared her art with him and he was impressed, convinced she had an art degree instead of one in engineering. That's when she realized she might have a future in art. She taught herself metalworking, painting and photography. With every subsequent work of art, her style evolves. She allows her inner self to direct the next piece. ================================ LISTEN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN… [1:35] Learn more about Silvia Poloto [8:36] Silvia's studio in a shipyard [12:28] The evolution of Silvia's work [16:35] Sirens, Saints, and Sinners [20:58] Learn about our Art2Life retreats [22:09] How art teaches you who you are [27:21] How Silvia comes up with new ideas [39:08] Seeing yourself through a different lens [44:20] Embracing uncertainty in your life and work [55:34] What's next for Silvia Poloto? ================================ RESOURCES MENTIONED Pamela Walsh Gallery: https://www.pamelawalshgallery.com/ ================================= CONNECT WITH SILVIA POLOTO Silvia's website : https://poloto.com/ Explore Sivia's art on Instagram : https://instagram.com/silviapoloto/ ============================= CONNECT WITH NICHOLAS WILTON AND ART2LIFE: Get the Free COLOR TIPS PDF: https://workshop.art2life.com/color-tips-pdf-podcasts/ Follow the Sunday Art2Life Vlog: https://art2life.lpages.co/sign-up-for-the-a2l-vlog/ Follow Nicholas Wilton's Art on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nicholaswilton/ Follow Art2Life on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/art2life_world/?hl=en Subscribe on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Art2Life #Art2Life #FineArt #AbstractArt #ModernArt #Contemporary
