Born in Cuba in 1985, graduated from the University of Camagüey in Sociocultural Studies in 2013, started photographing in 2018.
Without renouncing the documentary nature of photography, his work traverses different registers that have led him to explore a variety of expressive and experimental resources from the moment of the shot until the post-production of the resulting image.
His photographs are characterized by their reflective and intimate tone, which reflect the author’s arduous personal search for his identity and his own photographic narrative. His conceptual photographs are also a metaphor for life itself, as Silva explores themes such as the passing of time, oblivion, and memory.
In many of his photographs, Yesenia Guerrero, his wife, has had an active participation as a model or assistant, bringing diversity and creativity to his work. This has been a pivotal contribution to the creation of some of the most outstanding images of her career.
The Series of Oblivion.
Abstract
The Series of Oblivion is an experimental photographic series that explores the emotional impact and intimate meaning of Oblivion, inquiring into existence and memory through the lens. The photographs in this series portray the anguish and emptiness that accompany the loss of the quality of being present; exploring the duality between nostalgia and memory, despair and joy, and the internal struggle between the past and the present. These photographs are presented as allegories of Oblivion, and address themes such as the passage of time, oblivion, recollection and memory.
Memories
Abstract
This set of abstract photography is a project of photographic experimentation that explores the relationship between form, light, environment, and multiple exposures. This series of exercises invites the viewer to view the image as a symbolic construction, where the combination of elements in time and space creates a unique experience. The images are composed of a series of simple objects, each with its own unique personality, which are combined to form a peculiar narrative. This narrative, woven with light and shadow, gives life to these forms and environments, creating a world of emotions, memories, and poetry.
