Welcome to my world! I’m Silvina Lanusse, contemporary artist, living on the beautiful coast of Vancouver Island, Canada.
I am a Painter ∙ Intuitive Mixed-Media Collagist ∙ Storyteller Through Art ∙Soulful Modern Artist
I’m a contemporary mixed media artist who creates collage landscapes from fragments — torn paper, vintage letters, sheet music, old maps, and pieces of memory — blending texture and colour into emotional, layered narratives.
Originally from Argentina, I bring a bold sense of color and an intuitive touch to the work I make. My paintings live in a space of “in-between”—between places, memories, and moments—and I hope they speak to you, offering a space to see yourself in the fragments I reassemble. I can now say I am proud to be a West Coast Artist.
I’m an exhibiting member of the Federation of Canadian Artists, and some of my work has appeared as cover art for poetry collections, where word and image come together with the intimacy and rhythm that shape everything I create.
My Creative Process
My art is shaped by distance. I paint from that in-between place, from longing, from reflections, from love stretched across hemispheres. New Zealand’s ocean turquoise blues and the deep greens of the Pacific North West forests around me are constant companions on my canvas. Different coastlines, same story.
My Creative Journey
Painting what words can’t hold
I create for people who crave beauty with depth, for those who feel the ache of separation but still believe in connection. For those who need solitude as much as they need love. For those who’ve lived many lives, carried many roles, and are learning how to bring all their pieces back together.
Each painting is a place to land, even if it shows up loud, bold, and maybe a little wild. It’s like a deep breath with jazz hands. Life gets messy, and my art doesn’t try to hide that. It just says “Hey, there’s beauty here too.” People tell me it makes them feel seen, or like it’s echoing something they didn’t have words for. That feels like magic to me.
My art? it’s kinda fearless, kinda out there, but it’s also got this sneaky side. It’ll wiggle its way into your brain, stick around in your feels, and then just hang out in your memories.
That whole quiet-but-whoa thing?
Yeah, that’s pretty much me in real life too.
Whether it’s for your walls or someone else’s heart, come find a piece that sticks to the soul. Ask me about art with a spark, a gift that leaves a mark.
