Rocked by the song of cigadas, Philippe Saltet was born in Montpellier in the South of France between sea and sun, but that doesn't mean he's a gentle dreamer. Whether it is in his job by Industrial Designer or in his artistic creations as painter, he conducts his researches towards the natural, the authentic and the useful. Through his paintings, his illustrations and his furniture, his goal is to create a salutary encounter between a simple emotion, a right function and a human. Graduated from the "Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Appliqués et des Métiers d'Art" in Paris, he likes to paint the objects. He likes to paint the soul of the objects. As in his Industrial Design activity, he applies the concept "less is more". Acrylic and OSB. Limited means serve a full of emotion. The raw and without compromise texture of the OSB (chipboard of wood) emphasizes the painted themes and gives a particular atmosphere to the final result. By contrast, the poverty of the material gives a strong character to the painting.
