Visual artist and printmaker, Floriana Da Silva has developed a practice centered on two forms of printmaking: prints—whether etchings or woodcuts—and stone carving, which gives rise to works of art as well as signs and funerary engravings. While their techniques and uses differ, these two practices share the same act: that of engraving, inscribing, and leaving a mark. Through these materials, she explores memory, heritage, and the layers of time, bringing to light intimate and family narratives, absences, abandoned or lost territories, and migratory journeys. Engraving thus becomes a means of revealing what endures, caught between memory and oblivion.
