Abel de Lima Salazar (19 July 1889, in Guimarães – 29 December 1946, in Lisbon), was a Portuguese physician, lecturer, researcher, writer and painter who worked and lived in Porto.

After his forced departure from academic life, Abel Salazar cultivated a diverse artistic practice at home.

He focused on humanistic themes, everyday life, and working-class figures, as in Feira, Sol poente (Fair, setting sun).

In 2010, a selection of his most significant artistic works was presented to the public at the Soares dos Reis National Museum in Porto.

The exhibition aimed to highlight the internal cohesion of Salazar’s discourse, his interdisciplinary approach, and the connections he established with the most relevant artistic movements of his era.
