ARTIST INFO
Born in Alexandria, Egypt in 1911 of an Italian father and French mother, Salinas traveled extensively in his youth throughout the Mediterranean and frequently visited major museums and archeological sites. The elements of such visions were to eventually contribute to his growth as a painter. He studied painting with André L’hote, the French cubist theorist who so
strongly influenced modern painting in the last century. The mature paintings and graphic works of Marcel Salinas reveal his careful studies of Paul Cézanne and the Provençal landscape—atmosphere, light, and the importance of geometric shapes permeate his works.“He does a kind of sorcerer’s cuisine with his thin fingers, using ancient formulas, and during
this process a constant recitation goes on which covers the whole history of art from the cavemen to the present,” praised Ludwig Bemelmans, famous for his New Yorker cover illustrations, of his painting teacher, Salinas. Paralleling his life as a painter and a printmaker, Salinas has always been active as a counselor in the field of drawing, painting and graphic
art. He has been artist-in-residence at the Foundation Francois Desnoyer, Saint-Cyprien and Foundation of Paule Mikkelsen Minde Klarslov, Denmark.
As an artist, a printmaker, an adviser and an art consultant, Salinas has always strived to reach the highest quality possible in his artwork and in the field of editing and multiples. Working with both French and American ateliers, Salinas has been involved with artists of all aesthetic persuasions.
