Filipa Silva

Lisbon, PORTUGAL, June 1979 I have a passion for art since I remmember, Ive always painted and tried everything I could get my hands on when I was a kid, from crayons to smashed flowers. So for me, painting is as natural as breathing. At a more academic level, I see art as an illustration of the History of Humanity, from the landscapes to emotions, from the evolution of societies to the collective imagery.

I'm a self-taught artist. I've done some oil painting and drawing workshops, but I never took painting seriously enough until two years ago. It's still a hobby, but maybe one day I'll do it full time. Until then, I work as a a creative copywriter in an advertising agency (EuroRSCG Lisboa). I'm inspired by the modern life, by music, by pop art and beauty.

Degree in Communication and Journalism from Universidade Catlica Portuguesa (1997/2002)
