Throughout her 60-year career, Regina Silveira has remained at the forefront of research on perception and visual representation, primarily by investigating the principles of perspective and three-dimensionality. A significant work by Regina Silveira, Quimera, had its first version presented at Galeria Luciana Brito in 2004, in an exhibition held in parallel to that year’s Bienal de São Paulo. This installation demonstrates the artist’s ability to play with our perception through a metalinguistic process involving light and shadow. A comprehensive retrospective of Regina Silveira’s oeuvre is currently being held at La Virreina Centre de La Imatge in Barcelona.
