The Silent Scream
Vasiliki Siatara 

Description: The Silent Scream is an artwork I created with acrylic colors on a white fabric like the sheet we set up a bed with. It shows a double portrait, of a kid and an adult.

The adult looks with cold eyes and black and white monochromatic colors, while the kid is full of intense variety reds and its expression is opposite of the expression of the man. The child is screaming. I put more details on specific parts of the portrait, mostly on kids face and the eyes of the adult and the rest most watery transparent colors.

About the artist: My name is Vasiliki Siatara. I live and work in Ioannina, Greece. I am in the forth year of my studies at the School of Fine Arts of the University of IoanninaI have participated in several group exhibitions, inside and outside the university.

Recently I won the Wsa Painting Prize (Winchester Painting Prize 2024, being on the 10 finalists exhibited on Winchester Gallery) My main subject is the person, the child and small daily moments that involve the present with the past and are usually transformed on a white sheet into symbols and images with multiple interpretations.

​I set up a picture, usually with faces and figures from my close family environment (past & present) where they tell the story that each individual will read when they look at them. Every kind of emotion that a person can feel defines my subject matter. Painting with acrylics and markers on sheet, and printmaking methods such as woodcut and intaglio are the main body of my work today.
