Falves Silva is a Brazilian artist. He was one of the original artists of the Poema/Processo movement, alongside names like Moacyr Cirne, Wlademir Dias Pino, Álvaro de Sá and Neide Sá, participating in its inaugural manifesto in 1967. In the very late seventies, Silva became involved in the international mail-art network, communicating with a diverse group of young artists.
