Fer Da Silva is a Venezuelan-Portuguese contemporary visual artist based in New York City, best known for his vibrant and emotionally resonant heart-themed series, Corazón de Fer. His signature hearts are more than a visual motif—they are a symbol of love, healing, and human connection that emerged from one of the darkest periods of his life.

Fer’s journey into art began in childhood, nurtured by a creative household and a mother who encouraged self-expression. After relocating to Miami, Fer found himself facing a deep personal crisis. In a moment of despair, painting became his salvation—a way to process pain and rediscover his joy. It was during this time that the Corazón de Fer series was born: hearts filled with energy, resilience, and meaning. Each one is unique, layered with texture and color to reflect the scars, beauty, and rhythm of life.

Today, Fer’s artwork has captured the hearts of collectors in more than 20 countries and has been exhibited in major art fairs and galleries across the U.S., as well as internationally in countries like China and Thailand. His murals can be found in prominent cities around the world, extending his message of love and hope into public spaces.

Fer’s work has been featured in publications such as Forbes and Vogue, and is collected by cultural icons including Adriana Lima, Maye Musk, and Denise Rich. Beyond the canvas, his art has raised over $500,000 for cancer research and other causes, through collaborations with organizations like Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation.

What makes Fer’s work truly unique is the authenticity behind it. Each heart he paints is a visual diary of personal triumph and emotional truth. Using a range of materials—from acrylics to resin—he imbues each piece with its own heartbeat. The final splashes of paint are not random; they represent the rhythms of life: fast, slow, joyful, or aching. His goal is simple but powerful—to remind us all to love who we are, to give love freely, and to recognize the beauty within ourselves.

Fer Da Silva continues to spread his message through color, creativity, and connection. For him, art is not just a profession—it’s a calling, a lifeline, and a gift to be shared.
