Salventius is a Dutch artist studied film at art school but found himself loads of other ways to express himself with stories he wants to tell.
“Art is a beautiful communication channel, it is not like the news. It has the same mass communication intensity, but with a huge difference. Art is only communicating when it hits you. It is not pretending to be the truth, in every inch it has the quality of being a thought, feeling or expression and insight of its maker.”
When he concluded his photography project ‘Portrait Of Landscapes’ in 2012, he became a father of two. This significant event not only introduced new life into his world but also ignited an inner quest. In that very year, without fully realising it, he took of on a pursuit to uncover the essence of creating in the moment.
“I see the moment as a lost art. Through my work, I aim to explore and immerse myself more in the present moment. By sharing this experience, I hope that the insights gained will resonate with others, fostering an appreciation for the moment, the ‘nowness’, even more.”
