Internationally acclaimed sculptor Ada Da Silva officially marked her South Florida arrival—ushering in a new artistic chapter punctuated by emotional depth, aesthetic minimalism, and an unwavering dedication to cultural philanthropy. Known globally for her bronze works that channel raw emotion through refined form, Da Silva is now bringing her singular vision to Miami through a compelling blend of exhibitions, private events, and luxury partnerships.

Her artistic footprint—already embedded in museum collections across Europe and the United States—is expanding across the region with the kind of nuance and precision that define both her practice and persona.

Da Silva’s official South Florida introduction unfolded through a curated evening of art and philanthropy co-hosted with Global Billionaire Magazine at her Miami residence. The intimate event drew influential guests from across Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties—each one rooted in philanthropy, culture, and the arts. The gathering wasn’t merely social; it was symbolic of Da Silva’s intent to cultivate deeper artistic and civic ties in her new home city.

This isn’t just another residency. It’s a refined extension of a global career defined by both aesthetic excellence and a devotion to impact.

At the heart of her debut is an ongoing exhibition series featuring selected works now on display at two of Miami’s cultural and lifestyle landmarks: the SLS Hotel in Brickell and the Rusty Pelican in Key Biscayne. These spaces offer a fitting backdrop for Da Silva’s bronze sculptures, each one shaped through a minimalist lens yet brimming with tactile emotionality.

Her sculptures carry a signature balance—evocative yet restrained, timeless yet modern—mirroring the quiet, contemplative power she attributes to her process.

This spring and summer, Da Silva’s creative presence will extend well beyond the white walls of the gallery. Through a series of invitation-only experiences, she will be collaborating with brands that reflect her commitment to beauty, integrity, and design.

Among the luxury names joining forces with her: La Mer, known for its pioneering skincare innovations; Bloomingdale’s, whose fashion-forward legacy is rooted in elevated presentation; and Artefacto, the modern interiors brand synonymous with South Florida’s luxury design aesthetic. These upcoming partnerships are not just marketing moves—they are curated experiences that place sculpture in direct conversation with wellness, fashion, and contemporary living.

Though Da Silva's work spans continents—her sculptures reside in European institutions and have earned accolades such as “Best Sculptor” at Art Basel 2023—her current focus is firmly centered on community. She’s been spotlighted by CBS News Miami and named one of “Miami’s 50 Most Beautiful,” a nod not just to her artistry, but to her role as a cultural connector and advocate.

Her leadership extends beyond the studio. Da Silva serves on the Foundation Board for the New World School of the Arts, lends her expertise to the Miami Symphony Orchestra as an Advisory Board Member, and contributes to the Pérez Art Museum Miami as part of its Host Committee. Each role reflects her belief that art should be both seen and felt—and that access to it must be preserved and protected.

There’s something quietly commanding about Ada Da Silva’s work: a sense that form and feeling are one and the same. Her debut in South Florida is more than an artistic arrival—it’s a testament to how sculpture can move through spaces of culture, commerce, and community with equal force.

For a city defined by its blend of luxury and cultural energy, Ada Da Silva’s presence feels not just relevant, but essential.
