Argentinian Silvia Rodríguez brought a part of the atmosphere of Latin American art to Kikinda’s “second drive”. The basic simple form is complemented by relief – pictorial data. The motifs of these reliefs are figurative, and their symbolic interpretation is of a social character. By harmonizing these intentions with the peculiarities of her own poetic personality, the artist manages to achieve formal and realistic results that offer wide spaces of metaphorical possibilities. Here, visual – plastic symbols offer inexhaustible possibilities of interpretation and experience. – Sava Stepanov, art critic (Tera 1989)
