Art is an international language that everyone understands, It connects people, it is equal, it crosses boundaries and it is my passion.
I am a self-taught artist born in Madrid. I lived in London for many years and I really fell in love with Art whilst living there. I was deeply inspired by the city and its creativity so my painting style evolved.
I went to Putney School of Art and felt an increasing passion for painting. I managed to develop my work by experimenting with new techniques on different mediums and subsequently had my first exhibition in this city.
Years later, I moved to my studio in Madrid and focused on expressionist abstraction and feeling more experimental I started to work in larger formats.

Colour has always been a big factor in my life. From an early age I captured the intensity of colour in landscapes and seascapes inspired by nature.
Currently, I am experimenting with acrylic techniques and its possibilities, its bahaviour mixed with new materirals, new colours, strokes and textures.

Painting is like writing poetry on a canvas and the freedom to create is infinite.
Every artwork is a journey that reflects feelings, emotions and experiences in me, on me and around me.

I have exhibited in several places and collaborated with Pasarela Española and VestirArte, a Spanish fashion textile Firm that selects artists and prints for their unique collections (Fashion Show November 2019, see web page www.mariadefranciscosalces.com and YouTube Pasarela Española Vestirarte)
