Artist Statement for Yoli Salmona

AERIAL LANDSCAPE
A different beauty from the air, more poignant and more objective in its apparent immobility. Patterns become abstract, whether formal or natural.
Details and elements of reality- mostly trees and shadows- become re-ordered, moved around like tesserae in a mosaic. Fascinating long shadows of the late afternoon. Observation and imagination both play their part.
PORTRAITS
An unequivocal presence, a feeling for an actual person. Sometimes,
an ambivalence, an invitation to a question.
Something about the subject's present circumstance, but beyond it, hopefully, a classical timelessness.
BACKGROUND
Born in France, I was a child who was drawing all the time. But for various reasons, I was unable to attend Art school growing up, and became a clothes/costume designer for ten years before studying illustration at the Paris Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs.
My aim then was to be published, and Paris Art Publisher Flammarion gave me the first of a series of commissions by Print and Card publishers (Flammarion in France, Artistsworks in the USA, Poster Editions and Habit Press in Australia) This work on paper was featured at Art Expo New-York every year between 1985 and 1990, and at the Toyama Museum's of Modern Art first Poster Triennale.
When two of my publishers disappeared during the 90's recession, I I taught myself to paint with oils and started to exhibit, in Australia and France
I worked and lived in Paris, Tunesia and Los Angeles, before settling in Sydney in 1986.
In 1996 & 97 I studied 'old masters' painting techniques at the Charlie Sheard Studio School in Sydney.
I furthered my printmaking experience at the Waringah printmaking studio.
A year ago I also started to paint and design floor canvas (floorcloths) which can be seen at www.coveredinart.com
I also teach a portraiture class at the Bondi Art School, Sydney
