Adante Salvagado
| Adante Salvagado, Folk Artist Atlanta, GA www.AOK-AOK.com "My work has emerged from traditional southern folk art but with my own flare of contemporary interpretations."  "Here is one of my newer paintings titled "I Like Jambalaya," this is a brilliant piece that is composed of four frames that can be separated and rearranged in different patterns. The entire piece is 4'x4,' or some odd centimeters."  "This is a photo of my painting "I Like Jambalaya" in the initial stage of production. Usually, I start with one frame and use it as a guide to prepare the other frames. I try to make things nearly symmetrical but actually, aberrations are what make the whole piece unique. I try to let the paintings come to life while I create them, not controlling it."  "Here is a photo of my studio. There's still some renovating to do. If you look closely at this picture you can see a few faces staring at you from some of my earlier paintings. Unfortunately, I don't paint the faces anymore, I'm better known for my snails. Everybody tends to like the lady in the top right"  "Here is a picture of my work desk. This is where I do most of my photo editing, blog stuff, and emails. It's about as scattered as I am. You can see some of my drawing plans with the patterns and snails. There are also a few markers, my notebook, and some more paint."  "Here's a photo of the bookcase. There are tons of books andmagazines of all sorts here. I like to have books and various pictures readily available for inspiration. There are some Christie's and Sotheby's catalogs, these I find to be a great source with many large pictures of good contemporary work. Hey, I really enjoyed posting here, and encourage other visual artists and illustrators to show us there work spaces as well." - AS |
