Michael Patrick Silva

Chicago born and 3rd generation artist from his grandfather, Bueno Silva and his father, Eulalio Fabie de Silva was born in August 7, 1997. Formerly a U.S. Navy sailor and now a full-pledged citizen embarking on his familial legacy of artists – he is enrolled in Harold Washington College as a liberal art student.

Michael’s inherent and natural exposure to the visual arts lends him the grounds of self-exploration and expression via different media such as Photography (Analog and Digital), Painting and Drawing and Graphic Designs. He is also currently studying under his father’s advocacy in spiritual endeavors of the practice of Tai Chi Chuan and meditation. He was also highly influenced by his mother, Roseanne’s visual poetry of urban Chicago. Together, his parent’s DNA are inevitably being realized. He often scour the Jefferson Park area – where he currently lives, and his natural and immediate environment, downtown Chicago as his “canvases” to his photographic medium. He hopes to extend his studies into possible branching off towards filmmaking and/or the like.
