TARA, alias Cristina Silvestri, was born in Pescara. When she was very young, she discovered her love for art and she began to work in important galleries. There, curious and proactive, she studied, researched and developed a deep interest for contemporary art. She's always keeping an eye open on the world, on its beauty but also on its malaise, until art stops being a lens on it and becomes a dialogue tool. She gathers ideas and materials, assembles, reuses, experiments décollage, works with plaster, resin, plexiglass, and begins to create works related to social issues and solidarity campaigns. Tara brings with her a wealth of important experiences, a rare sensitivity, that she constantly nourishes by researching, studying, attending courses - such as that of family counsellor.

Some of her works were published in the book by Cristina Cerrato and Pino Nazio "All'ombra di Caino. Storie di donne e di violenza", Sovera Edizioni, 2017. Tara exhibited at the 57th and 58th Venice Biennale of Modern & Contemporary Art.
