Ernani Silva

Ernani Silva, from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, known worldwide for his rich vibrant, spiritually laced works, has had a 30 year career as artist. He was discovered in 1969 by Professor Harlan Blake and has never stopped painting since. Recycling is the solution he says, - Turning trash into treasure. Working with all media: canvas, wood, paper, glass, zinc and other materials, he says the material itself does not matter- the most important thing is the human feeling conveyed into the material.Ernani's artwork is filled with vibrant colors, and movements. It reflects his homeland of Brazil in its various forms- expressing all kinds of feelings and moods. Sometimes mystical or bizarre, at other times funny and satirical. Art is his passion and religion and his studio his sanctuary.

Ernani is represented by many galleries across the United States including-Stella Jones Gallery in New Orleans, Mosadi Collections in Denver, Savacou Gallery and Artageous in New York City and Jerry Thomas Associates in Atlanta.
