Abstract :Regina Silveira\\\'s printmaking has developed an art practice based on experimental and conceptual foundations, transcending the limits of traditional techniques. By combining classical printmaking techniques such as screen printing and digital printing with spatial interventions, the artist has repositioned printmaking not only as a method of production, but also as a means of intellectual and critical inquiry. In this context, Silveira treats the process not only as a technical form of execution, but also as a fundamental element that shapes the multi-layered world of meaning of the artwork. By skillfully utilizing optical illusions, the play of light and shadow, and the manipulation of perspective, Silveira presents an experience that engages the viewer not only in a visual perception, but also in an intellectual and physical interaction. The artist\\\'s innovative approach to space reflects an understanding that takes printmaking out of its confinement to a two-dimensional surface and integrates space into the artwork as an active and dynamic component, even transforming it into an installation form. This makes it clear that in Silveira\\\'s art practice, process and space are intertwined, expanding both the technical and conceptual boundaries of printmaking. Silveira\\\'s works have significantly increased the aesthetic and interdisciplinary potential of printmaking, transforming the art practice into a dynamic and multidimensional form that interacts with the viewer. Therefore, Silveira\\\'s artistic production demonstrates that printmaking is not only limited to technical manipulations, but is also a powerful means of expression that encourages critical thinking and engages the viewer in a process of questioning that integrates with the space. In this framework, Silveira\\\'s unique approach deepens the aesthetic and conceptual richness of contemporary printmaking, positioning this discipline at the center of modern art and giving it new meanings.
