ABOUT CYN SILVA
Cyn Silva is a visionary contemporary artist whose bold, electrifying works ignite the senses. Renowned for her fusion of modern abstraction, expressive landscapes, and urban energy, her paintings pulse with vibrant color, movement, and depth. Each piece is a masterful interplay of light and texture, creating immersive experiences that draw viewers into a world where the past and present collide in striking harmony.
Her artistic journey, once rooted in the misty coastlines of Carmel and the lush vineyards of Napa Valley, has taken an exhilarating turn into the raw, untamed beauty of Arizona’s desert landscapes. Infused with a modern edge, Cyn’s work reinvents traditional scenery with an unexpected twist, where rugged terrain meets a sleek, contemporary aesthetic. Her signature style, marked by layered compositions and a fearless use of color, evokes emotion and intrigue, setting her apart in the contemporary art world.
Beyond the canvas, Cyn is a dynamic force in the art community. Whether mesmerizing audiences with live painting demos, inspiring the next generation through art education, or generously donating her work to high-profile events, she is deeply committed to making an impact. With a growing presence in Scottsdale’s thriving art scene, especially in her intimate gallery studio in Old Town, her work continues to captivate collectors, designers, and art enthusiasts who crave originality and passion in every brushstroke.Cyn Silva's unique style utilizes large-scale canvas “to make an impact on the viewer,” and the electric essentialism of her pieces is what attracts many of her art followers. Cyn specializes in client commissioned art pieces and believes commissions are an incredible way for a client to document his/her spirituality and feelings.
Cyn does not mass produce any of her art. She creates one-of-a-kind pieces that are unique to the art collector. When painting landscapes, she paints en plein air (“in the outdoors”), allowing her to capture “the true colors of nature with the most accurate lighting on the subject matter.”
An artist since the age of 12, Cyn studied private art theory for seven years with the late D. D’Ovalle of Carmel who received her fine arts degree at California College of the Arts (CCA) formerly California College of Arts & Crafts. D'Ovalle taught Cyn everything she learned and passed it on to Cyn. Cyn say's, "I felt I had a private teacher for over four years and learned every medium, every style and this carved my art path tremendously as I was commissioned by large corporations and companies".
While Cynthia was in high school and college, she sold her original art to interior designers, and exhibited in fine art galleries. Cyn attended the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. where she studied architecture and graphic design. This set her on the path to pursuing her life-long passion: becoming a first-rate artist in high demand!
Cyn regularly exhibits her artwork in fine art galleries throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and Scottsdale, Arizona. Cyn is featured in many Bay Area luxury estates; including those of professional athletes, celebrities, and other high net worth clientele.

Her artwork is also featured as part of several Silicon Valley corporate art collections and adorns corporate showrooms, lobbies, and conference centers, including those at National Semiconductor and others in Silicon Valley, California and Scottsdale, Arizona.
