“El Warrior Jaguar” (2024) Painting by Andre Salas

Born and raised in the vibrant city of Grand Rapids, Michigan, Andre Salas found his artistic voice amidst the natural beauty and artistic energy of his hometown. After years of developing his innate talent, Salas made the pivotal decision to move to the sunny shores of Miami. It was in this dynamic and culturally rich city that he further delved into the realms of contemporary art.
Without any formal training, Andre is entirely self-taught and relies on his intuition and creativity to guide his process. His creative process is spontaneous, where he begins with a visualization of distinct concepts and details them into a medium, whether that be canvas, apparel, or decor. He draws inspiration from everyday life sources and carefully intertwines them with bold statements and symbols. Andre primarily uses house paint, acrylics, pastels, and pencil on canvas, but he is constantly experimenting with different mediums and techniques.

One of the most significant influences on his work comes from the world-renowned artist Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose innovative approach to art and exploration of social issues deeply resonate with the artist's own creative vision and have left a lasting mark on his artistic practice.
Today, as a thriving artist based in Miami, Andre Salas continues to captivate audiences with his evocative creations, each piece a testament to his journey from West Michigan to the cultural melting pot of Miami. His ultimate goal is to spark meaningful conversations and connections between viewers through his art.
