In the first week of march 2020, Pedro Silver started to paint the stairs of his studio in soho. Little did he know that in a couple days the entire city would be locked down. At this time, the artist experienced a process of self knowledge, manifestation of love, and peace.

“I was thankful for living and working in the city and neighborhood that I've always dreamed of being and for having the opportunity to create an installation like this in such a special building; however, I never imagined what was about to happen in the next few days. Coronavirus brought silence, sadness, and fear, thus the project became deeper and even more meaningful”.

Pedro Silver begins his routine with an hour of meditation every day. He prepares his mind and heart to start painting the spell.”The decision of what I’m going to evoke comes to mind at the end of the meditation, it's important to be specific and believe strongly in what I manifest".

The Quarantine Stairs was finalized in the middle of a pandemic and it symbolizes the beginning of a new era, portraying the human's mind at a moment of change and reflection.
