Salva Mascarell was born in Valencia (1971) and showed an early interest in painting and everything related to plastic. However, he chose another creative profession such as journalism. At the age of 24 he was already news editor of a newspaper regional edition. His life completely changed in 2005 during an illness convalescence. He began to paint again. He soon decided to dedicate himself to his true vocation, which today is his profession. He began with representational oil paintings, mainly portraits, which he abandoned to enter into a process of experimentation around the perception of colour, influenced by the work of Anish Kapoor. After exhibiting at Bellreguard, and following the line of questioning the traditional painting practice, he opened another window to plastic exploration with a series of art works using colour reflection. He moved to the countryside in 2015 and since then has immersed himself in a new way of painting conceived from reducing the pictorial practice to the mark left by an action. He has developed solar subtractive painting on fabric, which uses the energy of the sun and the passage of time as artistic mediums. The migration crisis, market deregulation, growing inequality, tension and the fears and uncertainties in today's society are issues in his artworks. James Turrell, Kara Walker, Cai Guo-Qiang and Simón Hantai are some of the artists who influence his work today.
