In the work of the Spanish artist, Salustiano Garcia, the subject is invariably the portrait. The artist chooses his subjects striving for an aesthetic result, but also the emotion and expression of the glance—the pillar around which all his works revolve—that creates a connection with the viewer. That enigmatic look zealously encloses the meaning of the work, the secret of what the model is thinking, which does not aspire to be a portrait, but a symbolization of a look.
The relation of the figure with the background is set in an incredible range of red colors. Salustiano’s red color is the result of the first encounter with the great teachers of the Italian Renaissance.
With his love of the natural color, he looks to turn his paintings into emotional containers of feelings. The interaction of color, background, figure and expression in his paintings, captures the capacity of human beings to attract one another and to communicate with the silent language of the glance.
