About

Alma Silva is a multidisciplinary artist based in Madrid working across painting, collage, textiles, print and spatial interventions. Originally trained in textile design, she explores how colour, pattern, ornament and repetition can transform the familiar into something unexpected.

Her work blends tactile and digital processes, layering hand-made marks with drawing, painting, collage, screen printing, embroidery and digital manipulation. Drawing on a culturally diverse background and a lasting relationship with travel and landscape, she creates imagined worlds that sit somewhere between memory and reality.

Textiles are both material and framework in her practice: a way of thinking about connection, and about how individual fragments come together into something more complex. Increasingly her work moves towards immersive and collaborative experiences. Through projects such as MAD ALMA she explores art as a point of connection between artist, audience and community.
