This monograph on the mesmerizing world of contemporary artist and ceramist Bela Silva showcases her bold and colorful works inspired by nature, mythology, and historical narratives.
Bela Silva's sculptural ceramics, paintings, and graphic works transcend art—they are visual stories that capture the imagination. Through her vibrant universe pulsing with energy, color, and intricate motifs, she transforms traditional ceramics into a bold, expressive, and tactile art. Conjuring an extraordinary realm influenced by her love for mythology and archaeology, Silva reinterprets art history, blending fantastical elements into striking compositions: birds, snakes, animals, and plants intertwine in a dance of both chaos and harmony.
This captivating monograph—with a cover specially designed by the artist—offers a curated selection of Silva's most stunning creations: large-scale glazed sculptures inspired by flora and fauna, works on paper, artistic projects, commissions, and collaborations. Essays explore her influence in the contemporary art world and examine how she incorporates her multicultural encounters into her work.
Bela Silva studied at the School of Fine Arts in Porto and Lisbon, Ar.Co, Norwich Fine Arts (UK), and the Art Institute of Chicago. Her works have been exhibited internationally in galleries and museums.
