Silvana Angelakis has been working as a visual artist for the last twenty years. Silvana comes from a background in costume and set design for theatre. She has worked for numerous theatre companies such as Co-Opera, State Opera, Urban Myth and Junction Theatre Company. Silvana would often be inspired by artists in her theatre work and theatrical elements find their way into her etchings and paintings. For Silvana, art and theatre meld into one. Since graduating from the North Adelaide School of Art in 1997, she has had numerous exhibitions. Her work is held in galleries and private collections around Australia and overseas.
