About the Artist:
Photography has always been in the blood of Ukrainian-born photographer Val Proudkii. Born in Kiev in 1963, Proudkii initially studied Economics. At the age of seven, his father gave him a camera, a Russian-made Leica Zenit, for his birthday. Proudkii has been taking pictures ever since.
Inspired by the works of Henri Cartier-Bresson and Brassai, Proudkii began using his camera to capture the scenes he saw on the streets of various cities and small villages around the world.
All artworks at the Silva are by local artists and sourced by Latela Curatorial, a full service art advisory studio based in Washington DC.

Why focus on local artists?
Art collections provide strong roots for artists, which is fundamental more now than ever in a quickly-evolving city. Furthermore, they tell stories. The Silva’s mission to invest in some of the city’s most committed artists through collecting is monumental. To dedicate space for rotating exhibitions and programming is a commitment to placemaking that will set an example for apartment buildings to come.
We are beyond excited about our partnership with The Silva, which allows Latela Curatorial to further expand its mission to curate and share narratives in this city by exhibiting art in this new public gallery space.
