Samuel Silva is a Portuguese ‘hobbyist’ that will leave you speechless for a variety of reasons. For starters, Silva produces all of his work with ballpoint pens, a fact I am still struggling to believe. As if that isn’t impressive enough, Silva states he is a lawyer by profession and only produces art as a hobby. Silva seems to be the whole package: talented, unique, and unbelievably modest.
