Miami Debut: A Fusion of Art and Philanthropy
Da Silva's introduction to the South Florida art scene was marked by an exclusive, invitation-only soirée at her Miami residence, co-hosted with Global Billionaire Magazine. The gathering brought together influential figures from Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, reflecting Da Silva's intent to intertwine her artistic endeavors with community engagement.
"My sculptures begin with emotion—quiet, powerful moments that I translate into bronze," says Da Silva. "Through simplicity and movement, I aim to create works that speak to people, no matter where they come from. Miami is my home, and I'm honored to share this new chapter with the world from here."
