Statement
Joan Saló explores the boundaries of painting through a meticulous process based on repetition and color. His work, characterized by precise lines and organic structures, is built through the layering of marker strokes, resulting in vibrant and optically dynamic compositions. Inspired by abstraction and minimalism, his art blends geometric precision with a painterly sensitivity that evokes natural rhythms and textile patterns, creating a connection between the analytical and the sensory.
