Ernesto Silva was born in Aljezur in 1938 in so called "old" village, the historical center;
minuscules streets that ennobled his poetry in a rhyme with steps of everybody
and of so many things!
He is a poet of fluent rhyme, both narrative and satire possess in him a servent
of admirable merits whose interpretation is revealed in judgements of value,
credited in public expositions.
From the miniatures of the bread crumbs... to the clay just lays the space of the first experience / attempt. The elasticity of the clay allowed him the flight of its own creation and dominating a new dimension and consequently a more varied world. Today an expert of some artistic currents he entered the surrealism with a determination that he himself doesn't know how to explain. And, his "dream" world allowed him the creation of unusual animals, in the unusual position between the beauty and the formal objects into that it transforms. Lover essentially of a pertinent and elaborated dialogue, his pieces are his world and space of his art and of what he feels. If the color possesses for him a more restricted circle, his wife's, Zabel Moita, effective help allows him a palette, whose tones vary between the range of the chestnut trees and antracite. The platin then suggests nuances of iron, copper and diversified metals. |
Spontaneous at opportunities or in relieving the screams of his soul, he
conserves in his memory the compositions which he declares with emphasis! His
sculpturing activity began with bread crumbs, that constitutes the dessert of
almost all his meals. And the "roses", the "carnations", the "simple flowers
of the field", the "animals" as an endless range of miniatures constitute his
first art gallery, the cartoon of popular illustrations or archetypes of the highest social level.
