Simon Silva (b 1961) was born in Mexicalli (Mexico), grew up in Southern California and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. As a Chicano Artist. He finds it very important to inspire other lives by sharing his art and his personal experiences. It's the sensory appeal of Simón's work that first captures our attention and invites us to take a closer look. Our eyes are immediately seduced by the vibrant colors that give his artwork a signature style like no other Chicano artist. All of the images are soothing to the eyes and familiar to the heart. Each painting is similar in style, yet uniquely independent of the others, just like the Chicano culture.
