Silvia Contro

Studio administrator

Italian born, I studied History of Art and embarked on my professional journey in Venice, a city that never fails to mesmerise.

After spending two years at the Venice Biennale, I sought to broaden my horizons and to embrace a more international perspective. I made the leap to London where I studied at the Sotheby's Institute of Art, further honing my expertise.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in various captivating art settings, ranging from bustling commercial art galleries to esteemed historical houses and prestigious museums.

I joined the Simon Gillespie Studio team in 2023 as Studio Administrator.

In my free time, I love exploring the vibrant art, music, and creative scenes of London, a constant source of inspiration for me.

And when I'm not immersed in the world of art, you can often find me indulging in the sweet art of baking, as it brings me sheer joy!
