About Me

I am Pablo Salcedo, an artist passionate about transforming emotions and energy into vibrant and timeless art. Inspired by nature, culture and human experiences, my work combines traditional techniques with contemporary elements.


Each work that arises from me is a reflection of my love for color, texture and power of sound transforming from the depth of being towards contact with what we call the outside world. Whether I am capturing the serenity of a landscape, the depth of the mind or exploring abstract forms of the mind, my goal is to evoke the connection and fullness of the present moment.


Thank you for visiting my studio, I am delighted to share my artistic trip with you.
