Born in 1983, talented Portugese artist Samuel Silva is a Lawyer by profession. Surprisingly, but drawing is his hobby. So, according to his biography, Samuel is a self taught artist. Meanwhile, he has always been interested in drawing, sculpting and painting since he was 2 years old. Started drawing and developing his own style of ballpoint pen drawing, he is also proficient with chalk, pencil, color pencil, pastels, oils and acrylics. You can check more on his Deviant Art vianaarts profile.
Samuel writes about himself: “I started drawing and developing my own style of ballpoint pen drawing back when I was in school, in simple classroom sketches in the back of my exercise books. I never imagined there were so many brilliantly masterful ballpoint artists out there”.

“I’m just glad to be here, I want to learn a lot, see a lot, and enjoy to its fullest what other fellow artists have to share”.

“It takes me forever to do my works. The only thing that makes me keep going is my love for what I do and the ambition to go further and further”.

Ballpoint pen is not my only medium, it’s just the one I’m currently trying to master. At this point in my life I’m fairly proficient with chalk, pencil, color pencil, pastels, oils and acrylics. Maybe one day I’ll create an account just to share those. It’s not about what you use, it’s about how you use it.
