Salvo is an archaeologist of vision, a builder of landscapes that exist between memory and reinvention, between color and absolute light. His journey, from his first conceptual experiments to his radical return to painting, is a declaration of autonomy, a gesture that rejects linear time to inhabit a suspended, mythical space, where the history of art is regenerated in crystalline images.

In the Seventies, after having gone through the analytical reduction of language, Salvo performs an act of subversion: he returns to painting with the awareness of someone who does not seek the new, but the permanence of art as an all-encompassing experience. His mountains, his luminous architectures, his unnatural skies are visions that condense the memory of Piero della Francesca, the metaphysical architectures of De Chirico, the plasticity of Pompeian painting.

In his canvases, the landscape is never a mere representation, but a mental construction, a space of contemplation and mystery. The color, saturated and compact, does not describe, but reveals: every mountain, every tree, every temple is an apparition, an epiphany that offers itself as a threshold between the sensitive dimension and the interior one.

Salvo does not paint the world, he reinvents it. His works are not narration, but affirmation of a painting that is always present, outside of time, like a horizon that repeats and transforms itself, eternal and inexhaustible.
