ABOUT THE WORK

Salubayba’s art is a dramatic interpretation of time and place that is deeply felt. Although he is an astute witness to changing times, Salubayba is thoroughly aware of the continuing need for artists to respond to the times. There are many aspects of Salubayba’s art that are clearly influenced by western forms and styles, but at the heart of his painting is the meditative Filpi ino spirit. Although his work is deeply personal, traditions have been inspirational for him and their language has been central to some of his most important works
