Thomas Saliot Artist Research

Thomas a profesional painter who lives in Marjoca Spain, where he paints simple iconic images either from the internet or from his life as big oil paintings. He has been painting for over 30 years and all off his paintings he makes are such beautiful pieces.

Some of his work below

“Dirty hands”

“The impossible cool”

“White hands”

These paintings are some of my favourite ones that Saliot has made.

Dirty Hands is a piece of work he created of someones dirty hands the way he has made the dirt on the hands look so real. The tones of black grey and possible yellow and green to make the dirt almost make it look like the dirt could be oil from somewhere. The detail of the hands and the finger nails in general look very much like real finger nails.

The impossible cool is a painting for someone’s hand sticking out of water (pool or sea) doing the peace sign with their fingers. The crease’s in the hand from the way the hand is look amazing all the different colours he hand used to create the colour and shadowing of the hand it looks like he has used many different colours there are fleks of pinks, yellows, blues, browns and possible a little bit of green coming through and just make the hand look very realistic.

White hands is of course what the title of the painting is which is white hands but i love how he has painted, the hands white and added a little bit of blue coming through on the wrist, it almost looks like the hands are clouds with the sky coming through on the wrist which is beautiful. I love the way that he has still managed to get the details in on the hands even with them being white he has got the outlining of the finger nails and in some parts their are details off the knuckels.
