Despite significant technological advances in business production processes, crafts and craftwork are increasingly valued.
Silvia Rais He is one of those highly creative people who creates authentic works of art manually and using high-quality techniques and materials.
It all started in Ibiza, back in the 80s when she met a silk painting artist, Valerie Pozzo de Borgo, and was fascinated by the beauty of the dyes.
penetrating the silk, the colors, the shine. He learned by watching her paint and fix the
dyes and set out to test his artistic skills. He went to Paris and bought
All the necessary material to get started, including the fixative, which is called
rocket because of its appearance.
He has not always been able to dedicate himself to this, family obligations and
professionals put him aside for a while, but in 2011 he took it up again and returned to
painting. Now from his workshop in Los Molinos, he dedicates his time to painting
on silk and other textiles.
Silvia Rais He uses different painting techniques to create different effects: Gutta, alcohol, salt, thickener and other anti-diffusing products. He currently uses the watercolor technique, a result that he finds spontaneous and vibrant. The dyes are fixed by steam.
For painting on linen and cotton, I use other types of dyes that are fixed with heat. The technique is the same: I stretch the fabric on the frame and paint with brushes. The materials used are natural silk 100%, dyes, thickeners and other specific products for silk.

Hello Silvia, I want to let you know how much I like your way of painting silk. I did it in a very modest way from Argentina. Now I dedicate myself to paintings with watercolors for silk. It is an exciting technique. Thank you very much!!!!
