Photography graduate student left her Venezuelan home at 17 to pursue her education. First to the US then UK when she realized she didn’t see a future in her home country given its current state. Though for a living she mainly sticks to fashion photography in London, her personal work has been just that, personal. It all her been shot in Venezuela and depicts her feelings to her current relationship with her home country. In this series ‘Venezuelan Youth’, she aims to depict those who chose not to emigrate despite the situation. Morality is high, finances are tight, and the outlook is bleak in terms of medicine, food, and the acts of the political regime. To Silvana, Venezuela is personified as a woman, and though women are “often disregarded and indispensable” but “Nosotras” celebrates the women of the country. Her work in this series is soft and welcoming, nothing short of absolutely lovely.
