Biography
My Story by Tomasso Silvestri
I was born of Italian heritage and raised in Chicago, where at the age of 7 was a child of music and art inspired by my mother’s cultural and artistic nature. My music and art were influenced by the unique composition of panoramic colors and the scent of her Italian cooking in the kitchen.
My life has revolved around the "visual arts, live performances, and music innovation, as far as I can remember". From my early drafting, drawing and designs; to music performance, contemporary composition, and theatre to songwriting, my ultimate evolution lies in contemporary design, sculpting and painting.
Engaged in the world around me for inspiration; extensive world travels, studying ancient cultures while striving to deliver new experiences through my artwork.
In my journey to discover my own personal style I looked to other well-known artists for guidance and inspiration; Carrie Ann Baade, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro - provoking me to explore my deep psyche inside of dreams, symbolism, spirituality, astrology and occult knowledge while pushing the boundaries and limits of my own contemporary art style.
