PAULO SILVA

Born on the island of Terceira in the Azores, Portugal, Paulo Silva’s parents immigrated to the United States when he was just a baby. From an early age, he has been drawn to art and sculpture. By five he was drawing, and by the age of 20, he had incorporated metalwork, landscape design, construction, and woodwork into his abilities.

After many years in another career field, Paulo decided to follow his creative calling. He mastered welding techniques, fabrication skills, and painting skills at vocational school, earning numerous awards. This led to the opening of an automotive customization shop where he worked on high-end vehicles such as Lamborghinis and Ferraris, becoming the preferred specialist for local dealerships.

However, the desire to create his own designs remained. This evolved into Paulo Silva Art & Design. His work step outside the box, seeing the world through a colorful eye. While others may create nice pieces, Paulo creates centerpieces that demand attention—blending masterful automotive painting skills with the precision of a master fabricator and woodworker.
