Hilario De Païva
The soul behind Hilario'Art
Hailing from the south of the Île-de-France region, near Fontainebleau, Hilario De Païva has cultivated a visceral passion for automobiles and art in all its forms since childhood. This dual passion led him to create Hilario'Art, his artistic name, a space where luxury, emotion, and innovation meet.
Self-taught, Hilario explored the world of creation very early on: first with construction games and drawing, then by perfecting his skills on graphics and 3D modeling software, learning on his own, in parallel with a more traditional path in electrical engineering. Very quickly, he felt the need to express himself beyond digital and decided to give substance to his ideas by materializing his visions through unique physical works.
Initially working on small projects while holding a salaried position, he gradually built his artistic universe close to Paris around two emblematic luxury materials: carbon fiber and marble, which he now magnifies through sculptures inspired by exceptional automobiles.
Hilario DE PAÏVA, the contemporary artist who sublimates dreams into true passions of a new kind.
To bring his works to life, he uses complex and light materials, carbon fiber has thus become an obvious choice.
A unique and artisanal technique “MADE IN FRANCE”
