Chico da Silva's particular universe reveals an intense relationship between fauna and flora, the fruit of the deep ecology of his thinking. His bestiary comes both from references from his childhood in the North and Northeast and from the inventiveness of his restless and creative mind. The work Untitled (1965) depicts a Ganga [Chestnut-bellied sandgrouse] bird, in a spectrum of pastel colors among the artist's characteristic dots. It was made in the run-up to the 1966 Venice Biennale, at a time when Pirambu's studio was beginning to diversify the animals and biodiversity in its productions, creating a visuality based on the figuration of fabulous and fantastic compositions.

O universo particular de Chico da Silva revela uma relação intensa entre fauna e flora, frutos da ecologia profunda de seu pensamento. Seu bestiário advém tanto de referências de sua infância no Norte e Nordeste quanto da inventividade de sua mente inquieta e criativa. A obra Sem título (1965) retrata um pássaro Ganga, num espectro de cores pastéis entre os característicos pontilhados do artista. Feita em um momento prelúdio à Bienal de Veneza de 1966, num momento que o ateliê do Pirambu passava a diversificar os bichos e a biodiversidade nas produções, criando uma visualidade baseada na figuração de composições fabulares e fantásticas.
