Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a smooth, organic shape rendered in a soft, creamy yellow hue. The overall composition has a biomorphic, almost surreal quality, with the form appearing to emerge from the stark white background. The artist has employed a unique sculptural technique, perhaps molding or casting the material to achieve the distinctive textural details and undulating contours. This unconventional object invites the viewer to contemplate the interplay between form, materiality, and the boundaries of artistic expression, reflecting the artist's exploration of the human body and its metaphorical implications. ...

B.1981, Colombian

Daniel Silva works with installations that are driven by materiality and informed by nature. Perception and contemplation play an integral role in forming a cohesion that is not led by a fixed narrative. Among the materials used by Silva are beeswax, magnets, charcoal, metal and wood, all fundamental in delivering an orchestrated interplay of emotive and referential cues. “As a shifting, malleable substance, beeswax is central to Silva’s practice. Reflecting an interest in how a material will represent its environment, he indicates that wax produced by a given bee colony will display the characteristics and qualities of its surroundings: the flowers, season and weather conditions present when the wax was produced. As a result, beeswax is framed as the product of the swarm’s ecological relationships, the emergent result of the organization of a singular body composed by a multitude. Silva’s interest in the product of a swarm organism is echoed by his intuition towards a conception of the lived experience as a multiplicity of sensory modalities — one where sight is not privileged over touch, smell, taste or hearing.” Black Wax, Jasmin Blasco June, 2018 ...
