Yordan Silvera. Artist, Concept Artist & Creative Director

Yordan Silvera is a multidisciplinary creative director, artist, concept artist, designer, and illustrator. He trained in fine art painting at the Escuela San Alejandro, the Cuban National Academy of Art, and later studied graphic design at The Corcoran College of Art and Design in Washington, DC, a dual foundation that grounds his work in classical technique while keeping it fluent in contemporary visual culture.

His practice spans traditional and contemporary mediums, including oil and acrylic painting, large-scale murals, concept art, digital illustration, video, and interactive installations. Series like Star Invader and Trinity Glitch push figures and mythologies into fractured, glitch-inflected worlds, while his murals carry that same visual language into public, physical space. Each piece invites viewers to engage with both personal memory and broader social commentary.

His paintings, drawings, and multimedia works reflect the layered identity of a Cuban-American artist navigating the cultural and ideological dialogue between his countries of origin and adoption. Raised between Havana and Washington, DC, Silvera's work embodies the tensions and harmonies of two worlds: politics and patriotism, religion and morality, abstraction and figuration, nostalgia and modernity. Series like Omnibroken and Forbidden Fruit carry that dialogue directly, turning hearts, fruit, and everyday symbols into meditations on resilience and inherited belief. Now based in Portland, Oregon, he continues that dialogue from a new vantage point, carrying Havana's memory and Washington's craft into the visual language of the Pacific Northwest.

In addition to his studio work, Silvera is the founder of Tactic Pixel, a creative consultancy specializing in branding, visual strategy, and digital experiences. He has led creative initiatives for Fortune 100 companies and global brands, while maintaining a central focus on his art and its exploration of identity, place, and narrative through visual expression.

Across both practices, studio and consultancy, Silvera treats visual identity as a form of storytelling: personal in the paintings, strategic in the branding, but always built from the same instinct for image, narrative, and meaning.
