As pinturas de Almeida da Silva se articulam a partir de sua investigação contínua acerca das possibilidades poéticas dos pigmentos cintilantes. Para além da experimentação com a tinta a óleo e a purpurina, os trabalhos homenageiam pessoas e acontecimentos que atravessam sua trajetória pessoal: primos que se casaram aos 14 anos e permanecem juntos até hoje, amigos de infância que se tornaram rivais, nomes que se repetem, lugares e situações marcantes. Através do poder simbólico da encruzilhada e da espiral, esses retratos-paisagem fabulam novas relações com a paisagem e com a passagem do tempo.

[Almeida da Silva’s paintings are shaped by his ongoing investigation into the poetic possibilities of shimmering pigments. Beyond experimenting with oil paint and glitter, the works pay tribute to people and events that have marked his personal trajectory: cousins who married at the age of 14 and remain together to this day, childhood friends who became rivals, recurring names, and significant places and situations. Through the symbolic power of the crossroads and the spiral, these portrait-landscapes conjure new relationships with the landscape and the passage of time.]
