Statement
Joan Saló’s artistic practice focuses on the exploration of abstract systems of meaning and the perception of time as a fragmented and fleeting phenomenon. Through painting and drawing, he creates restrained and subtle compositions that suggest mental structures, silences, and pauses. His work investigates the tension between order and ambiguity, proposing a refined visual language that invites an introspective and reflective reading of the pictorial space.
