Wayne Salvatore’s art is striking, captivating and challenging. Here we take an
in-depth, frank exploration of his work, from some of his rst works of art to those
which are fresh o the easel.
We have been presented with vivid reproductions of his most fascinating pieces,
which are divided into three main categories: gurative, non-referential and the
garden series, depending on their style. As many of his masterpieces have a musical
quality, Salvatore is a master of combining the senses and never fails to push the
boundaries of what is expected from modern art.
Take a look through some of the beautiful and thought-provoking images from one
of California’s up-and-coming artists, combined with honest reviews from fans of
his work. is is a book to be truly savoured and enjoyed in all its glory.
Art as we know it is changing. e best art is constantly pushing boundaries
and altering perceptions, whilst remaining attractive and accessible to a wide
range of people. Right here in America, one man’s art is doing exactly that.
Connecticut-born artist Wayne Salvatore became aware of his own creativity
whilst at school, and since then he has led a very artistic lifestyle. He has seen
some of the most talented musicians in living memory perform live, and his
creative pursuits have spread from art to photography and further. Given his
talent, it is surprising to learn that he only began painting in 2004 –imagine
all the untapped potential which went beforehand! Since then, Salvatore has
shown his work around the world, including Spain, Belgium and Portugal to
name but a few countries. Now living in California, his professionalism continues to
rise by the day.
It was only fairly recently that I came into contact with Salvatore and his work,
but I was struck immediately by the honest, thought-provoking nature of the
art which he produces. We quickly built up a great working relationship, and
I have gotten to know Wayne for the charming, approachable man that he is.

Acerca del creador
Wayne was born in Hartford, CN in 1948 and loved the works of Salvador Dali and Vincent Van Gogh early on. Although his formal education was in Photojournalism, art has always been a big part of his life and in 2004 he was stuck with a dilemma. He had bought over 24 quarts of paint from the local Kelly-Moore paint store trying to decide on colors for the interior of his house. Rather than toss all that paint, he decided to buy a couple of large canvases and use it. His first couple of tries looked splendid and off he went. He spent the next few years painting on his own and creating large abstract expressionist pieces. He studied the likes of Pollock, Twombly, Motherwell, Krasner and Mitchell. This process and self-discipline gave him the best education on light and color. He built upon his color knowledge from photography and currently creates intense and highly energized abstract paintings.
