In his nonfigurative work of the 1960’s, Alfredo Da Silva seemingly aspires to the forms and silence of interstellar space. His intricate geometric constructions, suggestive of strange functionless machines, could well be termed space age abstractions. His production, based on a repertory of forms that alternate between the geometric and the organic, has always been rich in meaning. He has never been able to banish completely from his mind the hallucinatory images of the Valley of the Moon near La Paz, as attested in his work by the mineral-like sharpness of the draftsmanship and the labyrinthine intricacy of the total composition.
