EXHIBITIONS

Australia

2008
  • Obsession with Images
    The Spanish gypsy whose obsession with images reflect pathos, tragedy and direct physical expressive force as elements in his painting. The contrasts of light and shade, the reference to surrealist images that good Spanish artists are unable to resist and the depth of flamenco are all apparent in these works.
  • 2008 Adelaide Arcade Pink Ribbon Art Exhibition
    Check out the contribution to the Cancer Council SA & Pink Ribbon Day by Salvador Loreto entitled "Still Life!! No Still Alive". This painting is on display at the Adelaide Arcade and is available for purchase by silent auction.
