Urban Landscapes: Imagine, Trace, Reveal - A conversation with second place winner Claudia Silva

From experimentation to award-winning: how Claudia Silva transformed the chaos and calm of the city into a work that captivated the jury. When Claudia Silva heard about the Urban Landscapes contest: Imagine, Trace, Reveal from Domestika, she didn't hesitate to jump in and participate... although she didn't expect her project to end up among the winners. In the middle of two creative courses -one of urban sketching and another of freehand drawing with acrylic and watercolor- he found the perfect opportunity to experiment, play and let the process guide the result. His work captures two opposing sides of the city: the constant bustle of traffic and the serenity of green areas. Using a completely analog technique, and relying on materials such as markers, wax pencils and drawing pencils, Claudia achieved a balanced composition that conveys contrast and harmony at the same time. "For me, the most important thing is to find my own voice and my own language," she explains. "I do challenging projects that I am passionate about, both in subject matter and technique, to capture my own visual codes in the work." Read the full interview with Claudia and find out how she developed her project, which artists inspire her and what her advice is for those looking for their own style. What inspired you to create the winning project? What story or emotion did you want to convey? The inspiration came from an event that happened simultaneously. I was studying two courses at the same time: Urban Sketching: "draw your city in motion by Inma Serrano" and "Freehand drawing with acrylic and watercolor by Mokshini" when I found out that Domestika had launched the contest "Urban Landscapes: Imagine, Trace, Reveal" (honestly I had no idea about this kind of contests). I literally jumped into the void without expecting anything at all, that is, I developed the project because I love to experiment and play with the process. The story or emotion I wanted to convey was the opposite sides that can exist in a city: the noisy chaos that generates all kinds of cars and the calm that green areas provide. What is your process for developing original ideas from scratch? It can come from a simple word or an image that triggers another. Eventually it escalates to finding more elements to develop the final idea. Do you start with a sketch, a moodboard or something else? I start with sketches: graphite pencil, eraser, pencil sharpener, sketchbook and/or printer sheets accompanied by photographic references; after that I start to develop the so-called "templates" that I will be working on the light table to finally arrive at the desired image. How would you define your style and how has it evolved over time? My style is quite versatile and I love that it has endured over time in this way. It gives more freedom of expression in the use of both analog and digital materials and the combination of both gives a very enriching visual language. What tools or techniques did you use to give life to your project? (Traditional, digital, mixed media, etc.) For the project I used the analog technique: a notebook, graphite pencil, eraser, pencil sharpener, markers, crayons/colored pencils, and drawing pencils.
