Silvia López Chavez

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Silvia López Chavez is a visual artist working in murals, painting, and printmaking. Her artist statement places her practice in Boston and describes neighborhood participation as part of how she develops mural content. Her imagery combines realistic figures with vivid geometric patterns. Northeastern University documents 999 Cranes (2018) and Joy (2019) at Ruggles Station, where painted hands, origami and a woman blowing bubbles transform the transit entrance. For Patterned Behavior on Boston’s Esplanade, she worked with a team of women artists on a commission from the Esplanade Association, curated and produced by Now + There. Community Tides (2023), created with New Bedford High School students through DATMA and NORPEL, translates local landscapes and fishing-community life into a large exterior mural on Fish Island.
