Lives and works in São Paulo

His artistic journey began with the exploration of the impermanence of materials, gradually aligning him with the fusion of painting and sculpture, resulting in a pulsating three-dimensionality of the image. Inspired by Brazilian and American painting from the 1980s, videos clips, everyday stories, and a formal radicality, his work navigates the boundaries between the ephemeral and the eternal, the sensual and the rigorous. In his creations, abstraction and figuration meet effortlessly, like continuous thoughts on color, composition, and time, where painting is not confined to image or object but follows an infinitely open path.

Silvamaral combines materials and cultural references, breaking conventions and challenging the very structure of painting. His practice dissolves the separation between painting and sculpture, revealing new possibilities for dialogue between what is observed and what is felt. His work proposes an expanded experience that engages with everyday life. His pieces eliminate the notion of a rigid frame; instead, it becomes part of the narrative, shaping the composition itself.

His creations explore sculpture as a natural extension of painting, suggesting a possible coexistence between these languages. By reinterpreting cultural references and common situations, Silvamaral unveils layers of pop culture and consumerism society. He invites the viewer into a reflective dive into life —constantly under construction and in motion— where art and the mundane merge and transform together. The artist seeks to dematerialize the technical tradition of painting as we know it, not for its disappearance but to expand the very limits of the technique.
