Born in Italy to a family rich in artists Silvia Armeni,since her earliest years, showed a real talent for drawing and painting. Following her desire to devote herself entirely to art, in 1967 she entered the "Liceo Artistico" of Genoa and, at completion of her studies,in 1970 received her diploma in Rome. In 1975 Silvia held her first one-woman show in Rome at the " Galleria dei Leoni "where she exhibited oil paintings and fabric collages. It was a resounding success as were each successive show over the next few years. Moved to Canada in 1979, Silvia found the appropriate environment where she could finally fulfil her lifelong ambition of becoming an artist by profession.

Bright colours and a wide range of details are found in her oil paintings where she depicts Canadian country life, bringing her people and their rural environments warmly alive. She shares their lives, their busy activities, where women collect firewood, her men stack hay, her children build snowmen. There is always something to do every day in life! This is the transparent theme one can easily capture admiring most of her representative works.
