Silvia Moldovan (b.1983, Sânnicolau Mare) lives and works in Timișoara. Surrounded by animals from a young age, she developed a deep understanding of their care, and began studying at the Faculty of Arts and Design in Timișoara (2008-2013). During her daily commute, she often found injured birds, including pigeons, blackbirds, sparrows, and crows, which she took in and cared for. Over time, this passion evolved into a dedication to bird rehabilitation, ultimately leading her to become a caretaker. As the number of non-releasable birds grew, so did the demand for suitable facilities, Silvia Moldovan was forced to relocate several times within Timișoara and into its surrounding areas between 2009 and 2022. In 2017, she co-founded Asociația Culturală și Ecologică Sepale, an organization dedicated to nature, animals, and art. Guided by principles such as veganism and sustainable living, she strove to make a positive impact on the world. As of the summer of 2022, the artist has made the SEPALE Bird Sanctuary her home and a permanent refuge for birds and other animals, built from the ground up, with the help of loved ones.
