BIOGRAPHY
Beneath her amiable personality burns a fervent fire to express life through art and dialogue. Samantha daSilva is a professional artist and educator, living and working in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Born in Brazil, daSilva was inspired at an early age by her copiously artistic family. Her grandmother, a portrait artist, her aunt, an accomplished jewellery designer, and her mother, a water colorist, all influenced daSilva to experiment with a variety of mediums.
Upon graduating high school, daSilva opted out of attending art school for a career path that was ‘safer’ and ‘more secure’. But life has a magnetic force that pulls you back to where you need to be. Ten years and an array of tumultuously revelatory experiences led her back to her initial love: art.
Intent on making up for lost time, daSilva dedicated herself full-time to creating and teaching art. Her passion for abstract painting has manifested itself though prolific expressions of art on canvas and varying media. Since ’08, daSilva’s work has been exhibited in over 100 different group and solo shows including a television appearance in HGTV’s Love It or List It, a collaboration with Schoolhouse Electric, and a cover feature in Dote Magazine.
As an educator, daSilva has instructed at various public & private institutions across the US, Hawaii, Canada and France.

ARTIST STATEMENT
Blank canvas flat on the floor. We stare at each other. I touch you. Run my hands over the tight stretched cotton. I smile. I kiss you and say thanks.
I squeeze paint onto the canvas. I use a paint roller to move the paint around, blend colours, create lines and shapes.
Texture is created by adding plaster, sawdust, sand, newspaper, ink and rubbing alcohol to the painted surface.
Water is an intrinsic part of my process. Straight from the tube, acrylic paint is tight, rigid. With the addition of water, the paint relaxes, takes a long, deep breath, begins to move and dance across the canvas.
I tilt and manipulate the canvas so that shapes begin to form. I respond to these shapes intuitively. For this reason, my work is never preconceived. I prefer to have the work direct me instead.
Fearless Abstract Painting is a process of adding and subtracting to create balance and harmony on the canvas.
My work is a celebration. Once, I identified myself as a victim. Broken, deficient, lacking. Today I am empowered, grateful, anew. Through my work, I attempt to illustrate the redemptive power of choice.
