Alfredo Silva  

Alfredo Silva is visual designer en creatieve duizendpoot. Hij houdt van typografie, vorm, kleur en het bedenken van verfrissende ideeën. Naast ontwerpen schrijft hij poëtische zinnen, aforismen, scherpe one-liners en diepzinnige observaties. Vaak met een filosofische, religieuze of psychologische inslag.

Verwondering is zijn drijfveer: met één zin een hele wereld scheppen, dat doet hij het liefst. Zijn teksten lees je op @woordlust op Instagram.

Alfredo Silva

Alfredo Silva is a visual designer and a true creative all-rounder. He has a passion for typography, form, color, and coming up with fresh, inspiring ideas. In addition to design, he writes poetic lines, aphorisms, sharp one-liners, and profound observations—often with a philosophical, religious, or psychological twist.

Wonder is his driving force: creating an entire world with just one sentence is what he loves most.

English translation of both poems by Alfredo Silva:

SPARK, FLAME & FIRE

You don’t create a spark
beneath your skull,
between the grooves of brain lobes.

You don’t create a spark
in your chest, behind your ribs,
between your lungs, just left of center.

No, you create a spark
from the tendons, ligaments,
and muscles in your hands.

That’s how you find a spark,
and a flame—
and maybe even a fire!

FLEETING HAPPINESS

Beyond the rush of everyday life,
lies happiness—
ripe for the picking.

Unnoticed,
she quietly passes us by.
