Yidi Art is proud to present Silvio Mildo’s first solo in Hong Kong, “All Flowers Need Watering”. Abstract, sometimes primitive, the artist approaches painting with spontaneity, almost instinctively to capture the outpouring of his thoughts, his memories, his emotions. His works compile into a logbook of his intimate life and his moods.

Painting is acquiring order and rigor through the canvas to Mildo. By the matter of energy and movements, his creative process gives him absolute freedom to define his own space, focus, and brings him back to basics, a way of reassuring himself to exist. With Crayon, oil paint, spray, acrylic and more, the artist mixes textures and renderings to better experiment with new approaches and “tame chaos”. The result is an effervescent and exuberant painting, with assumed freedom.

“I am the very expression of my person when I paint. It’s a way of reassuring yourself to exist. Especially in a time when everything is very quickly consumed. Where instability reigns over everything. Where the smallest thing that is, remains very fragile. It’s more a search for origins, a way to refocus myself, to be able to offer viewers a very personal sample of who I am.”
