Anna Silveira is a visual artist based in São Paulo, Brazil. Holding a degree in Literature from the University of São Paulo (USP), she develops a practice that moves between documentary photography, portraiture, and artistic research, investigating themes related to memory, identity, presence, and transformation.

Her work combines photography, long exposure, personal archives, and digital processes, exploring the image as a space for symbolic and emotional construction. In her recent series, the body emerges as a territory of passage, mourning, permanence, and reinvention.

Between 2012 and 2019, she worked at Marinho Comércio, the Brazilian authorized representative of brands such as Leica, Ilford, Zeiss, Nik Software, and Lomography. During this period, she held positions in communications, customer relations, and commercial management, becoming General Manager of Leica Gallery São Paulo in 2018. She worked closely with photographers including Mary Ellen Mark, Ralph Gibson, Michael Grecco, Alain Laboile, Andy Summers, Pedro Martinelli, and German Lorca.

Currently, she teaches courses in analog photography and digital workflow while maintaining a Fine Art printing studio in São Paulo, serving galleries, institutions, photographers, and collectors.

Her practice brings together technical expertise, curatorial experience, and artistic investigation, operating at the intersection of document, memory, and imagination.
