Wellcome to David Silva Art Blog!!

Hello friends! this its the blog of Baja Artist David Silva, here we will be posting new art by him, news, photos, exhibits and other things.
If you are a collector of Davids art please send us photos of how your house looks with this great art!, we will love to have news from you!!.
A good place to start this blog will be to write a little bit about his and his work, David was born in Zacatecas Mexico. At the age of 13, he began painting to win the heart of a young girl. Since then, David Silva has taken the artistry of the traditional Mexican painting very seriously; sharing his work in a revolutionary, political, and social context of the past and the present. The work of this young Zacatecano painter, now living in the city of Rosarito, forces the spectator to turn and observe with profound interest. When observing his paintings, we find Don Quixotes with a look of surprise, of anguish or of wonder. We see free gestures, dynamic vitality, and Quixotes that emerge from their meditations, not always optimistic about the condition of humanity. David Silva, in his relentless effort to express himself, reunites Zapatas Cristos Villas and Don Quixote at the same table. He uses narrative and literary content, as well as many colorful artistic effects, allowing us to enjoy the originality in his fine works. Each work is a synthesis in which the painter gives free rein to his imagination, without being judged by other different and present pictorials. This allows David Silva to approach his painting with absolute artistic freedom.
