About The Artwork

This sculpture is a compelling exploration of contrasting elements and symbolic imagery. The use of chrome-plated steel for the pyramid and weathered handle juxtaposes modernity with antiquity, suggesting a convergence of past and present. The pyramid's placement on a rectangular base, supported by legs, adds a sense of stability and architectural form. The incorporation of opulent materials like plush purple satin and shimmering gold cord introduces a sense of luxury and allure, creating an intriguing contrast against the industrial steel components. This juxtaposition of materials could evoke themes of mortality and transformation, where the arrival of Thanatos (personification of death in Greek mythology) is symbolically represented by the blending of these elements. The overall composition conveys a sense of tension and harmony, blending textures and shapes to provoke contemplation about life, death, and the passage of time. The sculpture's design invites viewers to interpret its symbolism and engage with the complex narrative it conveys.

Norman Silva was born in Nicaragua. Due to a tumultuous political environment, his parents, with young Norman, escaped the oppressive government of Nicaragua and arduously trekked to the United States via the Mexican border. This traumatic experience, along with the war he experienced, sparked artistic expression. The family settled in Miami, Florida. Like other immigrant families before them, they epitomized the cliché, "starting from scratch." The culture shock sprouted artistic seeds and grew into an engulfing vine. He creates art because he must; he reacts to the world surrounding him, specifically to individuals close to him. It is a relentless urge to translate personal experiences into tangible forms; his creations are his innermost thoughts and feelings. Mr. Silva received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore, Maryland, one of the most prestigious art schools in the United States, and his Master’s in Fine Arts degree from Florida Atlantic University. He has exhibited various works in galleries throughout the United States.
