Regina Silva Silveira (born 1939), an internationally known Brazilian artist, works with light, shadows and distortions to explore ideas of reality.
She also plays with the perceptions of physical space and continuity within her work.
She has used many media throughout her career but focuses mainly on videography, painting, and printmaking (including some lithography.) Living, working, and learning mainly in São Paulo throughout her life, she can be considered one of the most influential Latin American artists of her generation.
She aims to make the viewer actually think about her works, and about how they are literally viewing them.
