Francisco Salas

My interests were related to shapes and colors since I can remember, drawing and painting were a constant motivation. I decided to study fine arts and enrolled at the University of Concepción, Chile. The 80's were difficult times and the visual arts gave me spaces to express myself freely. As a drawing and painting student, I stood out early as an outstanding student, obtaining recognition in competitions before graduating from the academy.
My inspirations have evolved over time, first it was the human figure and the landscape, outside the academic focus and placing the individual and their values ​​as an integral part of this land. Then I investigated Abstraction, developing my own technically and conceptually forceful style, beyond conjectures, my works manage to touch the sensitivity of people at various levels of reading.
As a restless human being, I have carried out many educational activities, developing workshops in schools and universities as well as private initiatives.
Facing the artistic task has led me to travel the world and show my works in different latitudes, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, Brazil, Colombia, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Spain, Lebanon, China, South Korea.
