Renato Silva

Renato Silva creates compact sculptures of jackal-headed guardians, drawing on the elongated profiles and ceremonial stillness of ancient Egyptian imagery. Working in glazed faience, cast bronze, and glazed ceramic, he emphasizes incised detail, broad planes, and weathered blue-green patinas. His upright figures suggest funerary relics or devotional sentinels, balancing solemnity with a tactile, handmade presence. Worn edges and uneven surfaces lend each work the quiet authority of an object shaped by time.
