Banana flower (2021) Photography by Silvia Marcoschamer

She was born in Mexico City, lived in Israel as a teenager and later returns to live in the land where she was born. But the stage of her life in which she lived in Israel was decisive for her artistic and cultural formation. Daughter of a mother painter, she was very close to the world of art.

Photography captivated her from the moment she had to use it as a requirement of her work as a Pedagogue and educator, paving the way in the field of the application of audiovisual resources and computers in education.

She is a graduate of the New York Institute of Photography and the Escuela Superior de Fotografía with a diploma in Media Production from the Colegio Americano de Fotografía. Collaborator of the monthly magazine "Sale la Foto" distributed by the newspaper Reforma.

The photographic work of Silvia Marcos tries to show aspects of life that represent the positive, the joy, the beauty.

She proposes landscapes, the macro world, the abstract world and she has the freedom to invent scenes that arise inside her, unreal, expressive scenes that intuit the interior of her feelings and conceptions.

Now retired from formal work, she has decided to devote herself fully to her passion, photography. It can be scenes that she finds in her walk through life or scenes deliberately planned and fulfilled.

Her work pretends to be a caress in the soul of the spectator.
