20^th-21^st Century, Spanish
 
The work of this painter from Valencia and professor at the School of Fine Arts of the Polytechnic University of Valencia has undergone a notable evolution.

His early works were painted in a realist language and acknowledged a certain social commitment, although they were not exempt from dream-like touches. He later engaged with and Futurism. Silva continued to evolve in successive periods, first towards a narrative drawing based on mythology, and then to symbolic figuration albeit remaining faithful to his own personal language and exceptional technique.

His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions in Stockholm, Seville, Malaga, Havana, Florence, Zaragoza and Basel, among many other places.
