SILVIA BAJARDI IS AN ITALIAN EXPRESSIONIST PAINTER LIVING AND WORKING IN SEATTLE, WA.

“As an Italian artist who has lived across Europe, Asia, and North America, I’ve experienced the richness of belonging to many places while often feeling like a traveler in all of them. My world is a constant intersection of cultures, languages, and influences. This journey through diverse cultures and landscapes has shaped my understanding of 'home' not as a physical space, but as a feeling—a sense of belonging and connection that is essential for emotional well-being.

My work delves into the interplay of vibrant colors and layered compositions, capturing the essence of nature’s forms and energies. Each brushstroke is an exploration of how colors and shapes resonate within a space, creating an atmosphere that radiates vitality and invites viewers to connect more deeply with their surroundings.

As Cesare Pavese wrote, ‘Un paese vuol dire non essere soli’—‘A place means not being alone.’ My art draws on this sense of connection, infusing spaces with warmth and belonging, a feeling of home that transcends place.”
