Art lovers can join the Newsletter from the BLINK Art Group website.
Astor Milan Salcedo is a Spanish-born artist, but has been all over the world showcasing his unique artistic expression – heโs exhibited in prominent cities like London, Hamburg, and Palm Beach in the United States. He started his artistic career as a portrait and fashion photographer, and before that, he delved into the world of documentary filmmaking (winning a prestigious โDeutscher Fernsehpreisโ award for a documentary on the atomic bomb as the creative director).
Salcedo can be regarded as a multifaceted artist, claiming his seat at the table of contemporary art. His compositions depict his discovery and exploration of the sensual nature of colours, mainly using oil paints, and textures on different surfaces like primed canvases, photographs, paper, prints, unprimed canvases and his personal favourite, linen.
Describing himself as a visual documentarian, he finds inspiration from the world around him, his โwatchful interestโ is focused on the spectrum of human emotions and expression he finds in the people he meets, nature, music, politics, history, and his own quest to find โexistential equilibrium of the physical, mental, and spiritualโ.
Salcedo is also the co-founder of Yacht Art Management (YAM), managing high-end art collections for Mega Yachts. He works alongside Tilman Kriesel, whose family founded the Sprengel Museum, one of Germanyโs best museums in Hannover. Salcedoโs art pieces can be found on his personal website and on the BLINK Art Group, where he also offers maritime art advice for art collectors, additionally, his services with the Yacht Art Management are available online.
