As a dedicated portrait painter, Sal's work explores the delicate dance between abstraction and figuration, a dance inspired by the innovative techniques of Christian Hook and Alex Kanevsky. In each of his pieces, Sal strives to transcend the traditional boundaries of paint, pushing it beyond its conventional limits to uncover deeper layers of expression. His style is characterized by an expansion of the figure, where the subject serves not merely as a focal point but as a gateway to a broader storytelling canvas. The brushstrokes, though seemingly wild and unfettered, are carefully orchestrated to evoke the complex essence of the human condition. Sal's approach to portraiture challenges the viewer to look beyond the immediate, inviting them into a dialogue with the intangible and the abstract. Through his art, Sal seeks to redefine the way we perceive identity and presence, turning each portrait into a dynamic field of emotional and visual exploration.
