Oscar Silva, Fiber Art and Assemblage

     
Oscar Silva received his BFA in Studio Art from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas while studying under noted fiber artist, Jean Laman, and his MFA in Fiber with a minor in Sculpture from The University of North Texas in Denton, Texas under the tutelage of well known surface design artist, Shigeko Spear. He experiments through his art with natural fibers and mixed media to explore their inherent sculptural capabilities.  Oscar often uses architectural design and natural fibers to investigate the confines of modern society, exploring the promise of pristine nature with that of industrialization. By using handmade paper and various fibers in conjunction with mixed media, it allows him to engage fiber with form while preserving its integrity.

Oscar's artworks have been exhibited in galleries throughout Texas, Michigan, and New Mexico and have won numerous awards including an International Award for Sculpture.  His work is to be found in private collections in Washington DC, Chicago, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, San Diego, San Francisco, Los Angeles and numerous other cities in the United States.
