About the Item

Extreme currents is a unique silver ink on Canson paper painting by contemporary artist Franco Salas Borquez, dimensions are 50 × 70 cm (19.7 x 27.6 in). It is sold framed under an anti-reflective glass and the framed dimensions are 63 x 83 cm (24.9 x 32.7 in). The artwork is signed and comes with a certificate of authenticity. Franco Salas Borquez has a close relationship with the sea, since this natural element represents much more than a landscape for him. Hailing from a family of sailors that he sometimes accompanied to sea, he has experienced just how powerful the ocean can be, and his desire to paint it is fuelled by fear just as much as by fascination. Focusing his artistic research on the gesture, the artist paints the waves using an intuitive but rigorous hand to achieve the same degree of fluidity as the sea. Thus his artworks, thanks to the effect of realism, reproduce the same sensation that comes from contemplating nature.

Night Sea
By Franco Salas Borquez
Located in Boston, MA
Born in 1979 in Chile, on the island of Chiloé, into a family of sailors, Franco Salas Borquez has kept a certain relationship with the sea, both nurturing and dangerous. The dark and raging sea, the one that commands respect. As a child, he distinguished himself as a chess player, until he became national champion at 13 years old. The discipline is almost considered a sport in Chile. His talent as a player makes him represent his country in many tournaments. “I trained four hours a day. " But the young man is also "absolute" passionate about drawing. So much so that he decides to embark on a career as an artist. It was in France, where he first landed as a language assistant, that his career took off. His first sea paintings quickly spotted him and opened the doors of institutional collections to him in 2010. Affirming an increasingly contemporary pictorial approach, Franco Salas Borquez works his works with a sort of memorial archive of oceanic images...
