Orazio Salati

Abstract Expressionist, Photo Peinture

I began my journey with fiber arts, clay and precious metals which ultimately led me to concentrate exclusively on painting. Abstract Expressionism has always had an influence in my work. The freedom of movement, use of color, and the textural qualities has always appealed to me. Abstractions and mixed media Photo Peinture (photo collage paintings) are currently my expression. The photographs are taken on location as well as in my studio. It is always interesting to see people take a "second glance" at my paintings to see if their eyes have deceived them.

In 2003, my work was exhibited in the Firenze Biennale Internazionale Dell'Arte Contemporanea, Florence, Italy. In 1987 I had the distinct privilege of observing first hand the art restoration of the Sistine Chapel. I was able to speak with the restorers and actually touch Michelangelo's ceiling.
