Tiago Silva (@Paradigmstories) brings three decades of artistic experience to Decentraland Art Week, September 24-27.​

The multidisciplinary artist creates puzzle-like visual worlds that explore:

  • Memory and identity
  • Interconnected realities
  • Hidden meanings beneath the surface

Silva's journey spans from charcoal portraits to digital surrealism, blending hand-drawn techniques with technology.​

"I'm excited to create for Decentraland Art Week because it's a unique space where boundaries between physical and digital art dissolve.​"

His latest work, Tempus Impromtu, opens during the virtual art festival.​
