Colour, combined attractively and harmoniously, aroused in Silvério Salvador Sitoe, Mozambican artist, an indescribable feeling. He had always had an admiration for the abilities of people, who, using a creative form, left their mark on objects made in clay, wood, capulana fabric or simply paper. This is probably why the artist would draw in the dirt, ever since he was a child. He studied drawing at the Education Faculty of the Eduardo Mondlane University (UEM), in Mozambique. Master Cipriano was the first person to buy pieces of his art. Sitoe currently lectures at the Instituto Superior de Artes e Cultura in Maputo. He already has a personal project underway – the Casa Museu Escola –, on the banks of the River Matola, where he wants to come and work with children. «It’s delightful to work with kids. It’s as if you’re reliving your own childhood, drawing and colouring in dreams!», he confesses.
