Silla Maria Campanini is an Italian poet and artist, an intense and refined voice in the contemporary cultural landscape. Her expressive journey arises from a profound personal experience, marked by acute sensitivity and a spiritual tension that permeate every verse and visual gesture. The author builds bridges between emotion and critical reflection, between word and presence.

From an early age, she found in visual art an evocative space to express inner visions. Her paintings, exhibited in public and private collections, national museums, and modern art galleries both in Italy and abroad, stand out for their lyrical and symbolic strength. The project "Il Pentagramma dei Sentimenti," in collaboration with international critics Pasquale Solano and Alfredo Pasolino, promoted by the Writers Capital Foundation, celebrates art as a universal language and a tool for cultural transformation.

Among her literary works are Pennellate di Serenità – Brushstrokes of Serenity, Sussurri dell’Anima (bilingual), Sentieri (bilingual), Il Respiro del Silenzio (bilingual), and Nel Labirinto dell’Anima. Her poetry explores themes of love, loss, rebirth, and spirituality, transforming experience into symbolic gesture and shared vision.

She has received prestigious awards, including the Premio Morciano Arte, the Primo Premio Assoluto Città di Legnago, and Città di Cento. One of her award-winning works is featured at the Boccioni Museum, while others are displayed in the Modern Art Gallery of Cento. She has participated in over 17 international festivals, including those in Malaysia (Langkawi Island), Serbia, Hungary, Romania, and Slovenia.

The works created during the festival in Malaysia, at the invitation of the European White Helmets, are now housed in the National Art Gallery (Balai Seni Negara) in Kuala Lumpur. Creations from the Eastern European festivals contribute to the collections of the KRUG Gallery/Museum in Budapest, a landmark for contemporary Hungarian art.

In 2023, she was awarded the title of Honorary Academic and Honoris Causa in the Arts by the International Academy of Empedocles in Letters, Arts, and Sciences (Rector Prof. Alfonso Mula), the Lifetime Achievement Award by the Writers Capital Foundation (President Prof. Preeth Nambier), and the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Panorama International Arts Festival (PIAF).

Her role as Honorary Member and organizer of the Global Nexus Series underscores her intellectual and cultural commitment on an international scale. Her works have appeared in significant journals and anthologies, and among her honors are the Mewadev Laurel Award, the Honorary Doctorate IFCH, and the Europclub Award.

Her poetry is a semantic stratification, where words become living matter, capable of evoking depth and opening dialogues between the intimate and the universal dimensions. Through art and poetry, Silla contributes to the construction of an inclusive and humanistic culture. Her presence on international

literary juriesconfirms her authority as a reader and witness to shared beauty.

Her oeuvre leaves an indelible mark, offering each poem as a threshold between soul and reality, gesture and light.
