"Mizrahi approaches a kind of human condition from the figure, without meaning a reproduction, an imitation, neither a process of mimesis. Her delicate figures denote a marked expressionism, and their characteristic deformation, talk about this condition." La Gaceta, Tucuman, Argentina 1997 “Mizrahi takes us on a journey into her world. Hers is a figurative work of delicate sculpture--people flung about in a frency of dance, figures frozen in a static embrace, images of love and emergence. This work is at once mystifying, and grounded in human experience.” Daniel Lahoda, Curator, The Equator Gallery, Boston, 2001 “Silvina also studied dance with, among others, the Martha Graham School and is an accomplished dancer and choreographer. This interest is clearly evident in her lovely figurative sculptures, executed in bronze employing the lost wax method. Her attenuated figures literally dance and float on their pedestals.” The Rice/Polak Gallery, Provincetown, Massachusetts 2003 “Mizrahi summarizes in all her art her ancestral past, her dance experience, her ingenuity, her love, her harmony with nature, and specially her unique relationship with Dalilah, her daughter, who transport her to a simpler world” Claudia Epstein, Director Visual Arts, Ministry of Education, Tucuman, 2011
