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."
Her sculptures have been featured in a multi-location exhibition across Miami's cultural landmarks, including the SLS Hotel in Brickell, The Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne, Claudie in Brickell, and the American Museum of the Cuban Diaspora. These venues provide a fitting backdrop for her bronze works, which are characterized by their minimalist design and emotional depth.
Collaborations with Luxury Brands
Expanding her artistic influence beyond traditional galleries, Da Silva has partnered with luxury brands such as La Mer, Bloomingdale's, and Artefacto. These collaborations aim to create curated experiences that place sculpture in direct conversation with wellness, fashion, and contemporary living, further blurring the lines between art and lifestyle.
Commitment to Community and the Arts
Beyond her artistic achievements, Da Silva is deeply committed to philanthropy and arts education. She serves on the Foundation Board for the New World School of the Arts, is an Advisory Board Member for the Miami Symphony Orchestra, and contributes to the Pérez Art Museum Miami as part of its Host Committee. Through these roles, she advocates for cultural accessibility and supports initiatives that amplify the transformative power of the arts.
Da Silva's philanthropic efforts are further exemplified by her co-founding of Art 4 Causes, an organization that leverages art for charitable initiatives. The foundation hosts curated art auctions and events, uniting global artists to drive meaningful change and support various causes.

Born in Cuba, Ada Da Silva's path to becoming a celebrated sculptor was unconventional. After earning honors in Economics and Finance from the University of Minnesota, she spent a decade in Mexico City, refining her artistic techniques under the mentorship of accomplished international artists.
This period was pivotal in shaping her minimalist aesthetic and deepening her understanding of form and emotion in sculpture. Her transition from the financial sector to the art world exemplifies a pursuit of passion and purpose, culminating in her recognition as the 2023 Sculpture Award winner at Spectrum Miami.
