Salvo (artist)

[1][2][3] Turin became Salvo's artistic home after his family moved there in 1956.

He began with portraits and landscapes, then joined the burgeoning Arte Povera movement.

Salvo's work then shifted towards conceptual art, using marble inscriptions to explore self, history, and identity.

In a surprising turn, he returned to traditional painting in the 1970s.

This prolific period involved a unique dialogue with Old Masters, where he integrated self-portraiture with historical commentary.
