Silvana Angelakis
Silvana Angelakis is a South Australian visual artist whose practice blends fine art with her background in theatre, costume, and set design. With a career spanning over two decades, her work reflects a deep fascination with transformation, identity, and storytelling.
Trained in both technical theatre and visual arts, Angelakis brings a unique theatrical sensibility to her printmaking, painting, and sculptural works. Her etchings and collagraphs are known for their intricate textures and layered symbolism, often evoking the tactile qualities of fabric, costume, and stagecraft.
Drawing from mythology, the female form, and cultural memory, Angelakis creates art that is both visually arresting and conceptually rich. Whether working in monochrome or vibrant colour, her pieces are marked by a sense of movement and drama, rooted in her theatrical roots.
She has exhibited widely across Australia and has been featured in significant group exhibitions celebrating South Australian women artists. Her work is held in private collections and has appeared in national auctions, affirming her place in Australia’s contemporary art landscape.
