For Giselle, the transition from commercial work to her personal work has been painless and very fulfilling.

Running a mural company for seventeen years has created a great technical foundation from which she draws daily from.

The freedom of contraints imposed on her by her commercial clients has allowed her to address any subject matter.

Nothing is too taboo. Giselle is a reactive painter. Mass media, in all its glory and ‘darkness’ becomes her source of inspiration.

Life experiences, good or bad, is her subject matter.

“As soon as I started painting for myself again, I felt a tremendous sense of urgency. I felt I couldn’t paint fast enough. I have so much I want to say, so many things to react to. I am constantly making lists of topics and ideas I want to paint. Just as fast as I focus in on one idea, I am off onto another topic, and back again.” - Giselle Silvestri
