About Jeremy Silva:
I have always had this inner voice, even as a child that one day I would be able to share with the world how I saw and understood everything around me.

Growing up on the Big Island of Hawaii, I was extremely bullied for being gay. I hung out in nature alone as a way to escape. I would go down to the ocean, watch the massive Pacific waves hit the cliff sides, or find areas to swim, meeting all kinds of wild animals, Dolphins were my favorite, and we would play for hours. I would go to watch and play with the hot lava flows that poured into the ocean near my home. Nature itself was my friend, I did not need to be around people to feel loved.

My work has become my way of sharing all of my experiences. I want to inspire people to be aware of what is around them and to see things from a different perspective. There is so much undiscovered magic that we are destroying quicker than we can discover. I believe everything around us is conscious, including my art.
