ABOUT


Ada Da Silva is a Cuban born modernist sculptor, based in Miami. While living in Mexico City for ten years, Ada

explored new creative horizons and refined her artistic technique under the guidance of several accomplished

international artists.


Working primarily in bronze, Ada's sculptures blend figurative and surrealistic elements to investigate

philosophical ideas and abstract emotions. By capturing glimpses of human experiences frozen in time, her work

invites deep reflection, transcending the literal to evoke profound emotional connections.


As an artist, Ada’s creative process is deeply introspective and inspired by nature, cultural history, and life’s intricate moments. She

channels these experiences into her work, capturing fleeting emotions and personal moments through her sculptures.



Ada's art reflects a seamless fusion of strength and vulnerability, symbolized by her mastery of bronze, a

medium that represents both the permanence and the fluidity of life's moments. Through her work, she inspires

audiences to contemplate the ephemeral nature of human emotion and the enduring complexities of existence.



Ada's Definition of Art: "To invoke emotions through the expression of elegance and beauty."


THE CREATIVE PROCESS


Ada's creative process is rooted in self-reflection and journaling—a ritual of introspection that distills rawemotion into a narrative blueprint. This journey evolves from intimate sketches into tactile clay, requiring three to six months of meticulous hand-building. By ultimately casting her work in bronze, Ada ensures her visions arenot merely captured, but immortalized in a medium designed to endure for generations.


Each sculpture undergoes a rigorous transformation at the foundry, where molten metal replaces the ephemeral clay. This evolution is completed through the delicate arts of chasing and patination, a final stage of refinement that coaxes out depth and texture, giving every piece its distinct, resonant character.


Ada’s art is fueled by her love for nature’s beauty, cultural explorations, and the blissful moments of life. Whether she is inspired by the serene elegance of natural landscapes, the rich history of her travels, or the emotional moments of human experience, Ada captures these fleeting yet powerful sensations in her sculptures. Each piece tells a story, blending her personal experiences with universal themes to create art that invites viewers to connect on a deeper, emotional level.


Every day, Ada sketches, journals, and takes notes on her observations, capturing everything from minute details to the broader emotional realities of human life.


Ada produces her works locally in her studio and foundry in Miami.
