Mike Salisbury

Mike Salisbury's innovative style of pen and ink drawing harnesses the eloquence of a single, unbroken line that curves back upon itself to create an endless loop.

He varies the line's thickness and density to subtly capture the depth and texture of his subjects. This intricate linework constructs a visual puzzle, compelling viewers to discern detailed information from the seemingly straightforward strokes.

Particularly effective in portraiture, Salisbury’s drawing style subconsciously engages viewers on a deeply personal level.
