Ana Bia Silva
[ Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2000. Lives and works in Rio de Janeiro ]
Ana Bia Silva is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans installation, drawing, painting, photography, mechanical devices, and video. Her work explores understandings around nature, delving into the relationships between humans and the power dynamics among living and inert beings, as well as myths, mysteries, and mythologies of life on Earth.
In her practice, the artist blends traditional methods with experimental approaches, combining organic and synthetic materials to create symbiotic works that address science, history, philosophy, and affective territories. Her body of work results in inquiries that encompass cultural, social, ecological, and intangible aspects.
