Gilbert Salinas

My central theme is based on investigating the variety of ways to address the organic forms of nature and its constant evolution through art. I am also concerned with the aging surfaces of the planet and the traces that time bears on earth. I employ organic forms as reference to explore and experiment with natural patterns created by the manipulation of the consistency of both paint and mixed media, letting it flow through different surfaces and by intervening and accentuating certain areas with drawings.

As a continuity of my investigation, likewise, I focus on the conscience, instincts and complexities of human beings in a figurative series. By exploring those introspective stages, processes and phenomenons that go through our minds in order to understand better our reality, I am curious of when and how this complexity began.

Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities with a concentration in Fine Arts: Painting, from the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras campus.
