Reckless Abandon: Saloni embraces creativity

‘I didn’t think of any further ambition, it was just a matter of how to express and feel the colourful life again after winning the fierce battle against a severe illness, I began to paint again, expressing inspiration and sentiment.‘

-If you saw your work outside of yourself, as another person, how would describe it?

I simply enjoy the freedom of discovering the perspective and structure of what the artist wants to express, his thoughts and visions in varieties of ideas with almost reckless abandon.

-How would you describe the growth of your work from when you first started until now?

Actually, I really liked drawing and arts at school already but didn’t follow up ever after. Only a decade ago I kinda re-started from scratch until now, and I am proud of myself about the huge and overwhelming feedback I receive on my pieces of art and my achievements. By the time my artistic literacy broadened, I became fascinated with more abstract means of exploring emotions and different creative processes.

-When you started pursuing art, where did you think it would lead?

To be honest, I didn’t think of any further ambition, it was just a matter of how to express and feel the colourful life again after winning the fierce battle against a severe illness, I began to paint again, expressing inspiration and sentiment. My daughter was fascinated which of course encourage me even more to continue. Shortly afterwards demanding of my work started growing very fast, following with an international exhibition in Los Angeles. With such great achievement , I became even more motivated in
continuing to develop and to find out my own style and way in abstract art. It’s really a great pleasure at heart in receiving so much of encouraging feedback, making me just so very happy.

-what is the dream art installation?

A dream of value in me. I love the ideas of transforming things or visions into something of value that might otherwise be overlooked or discarded. It’s just such a joy to create and find myself in an ever ongoing learning process. It is an inspiration of my life. That’s enough.

-What is the word you would use to describe your art and why would you use the word?

Well, I describe my art as Abstract in style, I use this word because it’s the biggest “mess” of colours on canvas and I piece it together like puzzles, sometimes also containing representational elements and occasionally appearing tendencies towards the “Abstract Expressionism”when I feel the urge to begin a new painting. Out of that “mess”, I hardly ever know how it will finally look and I only have the feeling of colours in me. My paintings sometimes take only couple of hours or may even take me several days and sometimes even total over painting following a totally different direction and when it comes to an end it’s a story with an infinite possibilities.

-What is the craziest commissions you have ever had?

I don’t ever think of any commission as crazy. Everyone has their own ideas and visions. I’m happy if my art piece matches my clients visions and they like what I made of it or how I interpreted it.

-Would you prefer to display your work in galleries mainly or work on commission? Why did you choose that?

Well, the market of art nowadays has turn out to a great business. If the opportunity allows me to display my works in galleries, I will be very delighted. Through the galleries, I will be recognised may be through the numbers of visitors all the time and it’s a smile at heart. But I also like to work on commissions. It’s a bit more tricky because I just can’t let the flow guide me but I need to match my clients desires. So this is also very interesting to work on and see how I find my way to my clients perceptions.

-Where in the world would you erase from the planet and why?

Honestly, the earth is already pretty chaotic with so many people and governments going nuts, so I rather pray to God and hope for the best of us all.
