Caterina Silva (b. Rome, 1983) is a visual artist currently based in Rome.
Through painting and performance, she investigates the intersections between language and power, adopting a silent perspective intended to question structures of meaning production and systems of classification and control. She uses painting to probe at the obscure spaces of the mind, those which are impossible to explain in words, but which exist and materialize into matter and then object. She creates open images available to the interpretation of the observer, a consequence of a process of deconstruction of her own internal superstructure carried out through the matter of painting and its translation into performances.
She was an artist in residence at Cité des arts, Paris 2012; Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam 2014-2015; Asia Culture Center, Gwangju 2016; NKD, Dale, Norway 2018. In 2022 she is awarded the Italian Council-XI Edition-Talent development grant.
