Rafael Saldarriaga Abstract Paintings
Colombian, b. 1955
Artist Rafael Saldarriaga brings elements of his native Colombia into vivid focus by way of bright still lifes and figurative portraits with darker, more somber tones. Whether capturing a bowl of oranges with realistic clarity or depicting an otherworldly basket of apples on a table against the backdrop of dry prairie, Saldarriaga creates work with a unique essence.
Born in Medellín, Colombia, Saldarriaga graduated from the School of Urban and Architectural Design at Pontifical Bolivarian University in 1983. He began his journey to being a painter in 1984 and moved to the United States in 1993, settling in New Mexico for a couple of years. From 1994 to 1995, Saldarriaga performed live drawings at Hardwood Hoffman Studio in Albuquerque. He then relocated to Hawaii and, from 1997 to 1998, did live drawings for the Hui No‘eau Visual Arts Center on Maui.
Throughout his career, Saldarriaga has exhibited in solo and group shows, including the 1996 Sapporo International Art Festival in Japan, in which he won the Premier Prix du Public award.
After his time in Hawaii, Saldarriaga moved to New York City, where he also performed live drawings and exhibited his work from 1998 to 1999. He later moved to West Palm Beach, Florida, where he currently lives and works, creating more wonderful still lifes and surrealist figurative work.

Sailing to the Sun, Reflection in the Water, Oil , Abstract Landscape, Nature
Located in Houston, TX
Sailing into the Sun is an abstract landscape painting. It is oil on canvas. It is gallery wrapped so there is no need for a frame.
On a summer morning in 1993 a 22 years old young came to Florida from a small old town in the central area of Cuba called Santa Clara. In his bag, he brought no more than two valuable things, his worn-out brushes and a great dream. The dream to one day become a professional artist in this new land that welcomed him with open arms.
Captivated by his love for the beauty of the Landscapes, his last works are what he sees even in the most common scenes: the close relationship of life and who we are with the natural world around us that asks us to respect and care for it.
Artist Statement:
" I like to scrutinize in the simple things, sometimes it is there where the lost painting is waiting to be found by the painter's eyes.
The landscape painting gives me the opportunity to establish a close relationship with the natural world and humbly capture on a canvas a little of its beauty listening to its voice that reminds us how valuable we are and how much we should love it".
