Vano Allsalu

Sündinud / Born 1967

Vano Allsalu's abstract expressions blend a sensitive mix of colours with strong brushstrokes, creating complicated textures and playful forms. The artist observes his surroundings and recreates them as subjective abstractions, employing his signature world of colour. Nature impressions and motifs have been a part of his oeuvre since the very beginning. The artist's creative style is powerfully expressive and abstract but still connected to reality. Allsalu's titles emphasise the dialogue between the visual and the verbal, uniting with colours, shapes and textures to form inspiring stories.
