Ana Silva compõe seu universo visual através de um percurso íntimo, incluindo memórias de infância, ambiente de vivências e a presença das mulheres de seu país. Em seus eixos de pesquisa evoca a dificuldade de acesso à água potável em Angola, aborda aspectos da infância e as transmissões de conhecimento e cultura entre gerações femininas, tangenciando a artista, sua avó e sua filha. Silva possui uma abordagem artística que compreende diferentes materiais. Afirma que todos os materiais podem se transformar em arte: "não posso separar meu trabalho da minha experiência em Angola, em uma época em que o acesso aos materiais era difícil devido à guerra de independência e à guerra civil. Minha criatividade nasceu da exploração de meu ambiente imediato. Essa experiência teve um grande impacto em minha maneira de trabalho e em minha vida de modo geral".

[Ana Silva composes her visual universe through an intimate work, including childhood memories, the environment in which she lived and the presence of women of her country. Her research focuses on the difficulty of potable water access in Angola, aspects of childhood and the transmission of knowledge and culture between female generations, including the artist, her grandmother, and her daughter. Silva's artistic approach includes different materials, mentioning that all materials can be transformed into art: "I can't separate my work from my experience in Angola, at a time when access to materials was difficult due to the war of independence and the civil war. My creativity was born from exploring my immediate environment. This experience had a big impact on the way I work and on my life in general."]
