Carlos Salas

Salas studied architecture at the University of Los Andes and painting at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. He received multiple accolades in France and his native Colombia for his contributions to abstract art, and at the age of 42 he was the youngest artist to ever present a retrospective at the Bogota Museum of Modern Art. Salas’ blazing spirit is evident in his elaborate brush strokes that resemble scratches and scars that – while open to interpretation and analysis – cannot hide the artist’s intensity and passion.
