Amanda Colares Silva

Amanda Colares Silva is an artist and maker born and based in London. Her body of work focuses on portraying emotional experiences and story telling through sculpture and printed costume for the body.

 Through her practice she explores motifs which trigger universal emotions and personal nostalgia accompanying her physical projects with written work. This practice is an ongoing journey in universe and character creation manifested through hand painted fabrics, constructed dolls and eccentric silhouettes for the body, which are usually playful, colourful, and tactile; “exploring my own child-like curiosity towards adult-like concepts”.
